Herbie #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Caveman Named Herbie!", the title character sets out to prove that cavemen weren’t as dim-witted as his teacher claims—especially when it comes to fashion, like slicked-back hair and monocles. With a time-travel twist, Herbie journeys back to prehistoric times, meets a female counterpart named Ticklepuss, and brings her brother Bumbum to the present to settle the debate. Written by Shane O'Shea and illustrated by Ogden Whitney—whose distinctive pencils and inks define both the story and the cover—this 1964 gem blends humor and whimsy with a charmingly oddball time-travel premise.

Herbie's teacher says that cavemen were stupid, but Herbie disagrees. An actor thinks cavemen had slicked-back hair and wore monocles, but Herbie thinks that is not authentic. He goes back in time to prove his point and meets Ticklepuss, a female version of Herbie. Herbie takes Ticklepuss' brother, Bumbum, back to the present and proves himself right. Herbie's teacher falls in love with Bumbum, and Herbie has a nightmare about being chased by Ticklepuss.
