Doug: Yeah, it's got to be. There's only one Al Hubbard! That entire era of comic artists that worked for Ha-Ha and Giggle and Coo-Coo, they really set the standard for the kind of stuff I love. -- Mykal

Man, Al Hubbard was great. I haven't seen much of his non-Disney work; this is fantastic! I may have to start picking up some Supermouse after seeing the great cartooning going on. I never knew!

Giggle Comics has some stories signed by Al Hubbard, but the style looks a lot different from his usually recognizable work. It's got to be the same guy, though, right?

Hey, David. That Bradbury story was a bit savage, wasn't it? And, of course, Hubbard is something. There is another Hubbard story in this isssue I am saving up gor an all-Hubbard post sometime. -- Mykal

Great stuff. Mr. Hubbard has a really unusual style. I don't think I've ever seen such volume-y drawings in a funny animal comic.

The unexpectedly cruel and sudden ending of the Bruno story made me crack up!

Gary: I can see why Supermouse is so beloved by funny animal aficionados: so many great talents drew him! Thanks so much for stopping by! -- Mykal

I didn't know Al Hubbard drew Super Mouse. But, by golly, that is his style right there on those pages. Nice find and thanks for running these.

Chuck: There's a bunch more where that came from, my friend! (Great Conrad impression! I so preferred his ads to the stupid bunny!) -- Mykal

Picture me as Robert Conrad (sure it's a stretch), "OK, go ahead and post TWO stories from my favorite golden age publisher. I DARE YOU!"

Whew, that was pretty easy for you, Mykal.

Great blog. I just discovered it and spent an hour catching up. Especially enjoy the Lulu/Tubby and WDC&S stories.

KW: Yes, indeed!

This artist is excellent! those actions shots are perfect.

Lysdexicuss: There's always that horrible feeling that if you make more lines, the drawing will get better! At least that's what happens to me. In both writing and inking, I strive, strive, strive for minimalism without lose of impact. Masters like Bradbury and Hubbard seem to achieve that so naturally.

Erik: Yes indeed!

Brad: I know! That mustache made me laugh. I have been trying to figure out how a radio works with no batteries, and simply don't understand. I still want one, though! -- Mykal

hahah supermouse in the clarke gable disguise is hilarious! i can see why supermouse is mr. engle's favorite character. I love that dick tracy add too, no batteries, no tubes, it really works! yeah i bet it works as well as the x-ray glasses....

Hubbard is great! Love his stuff.

Thanx for posting this, Mykal. As an artist, the rich, minimalistic use of black ink in these two stories is truly inspiring. I have battled my entire artistic existence with my own penchant for muddying things up with excessive chicken scratch and over-inking. Oh ! And I really enjoyed the 1st STORY. What a hoot !
