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.
In "A Caveman Named Herbie!", the title character sets out to prove that cavemen weren’t as dim as his teacher claims—especially when he encounters Ticklepuss, a surprisingly modern-minded female caveman, and her brother Bumbum. With a time-traveling twist and a dash of absurdity, Herbie brings Bumbum to the present, sparking unexpected reactions—including a crush from his teacher—while a mysterious nightmare looms.
In "Space-Age Herbie!", Herbie takes a turn from his dad’s failing balloon business to join Dr. Dimwit’s wild expedition to Planet Percival—where lollipops aren’t just candy, but cosmic mood boosters. With his usual mix of bumbling charm and accidental genius, Herbie finds himself caught in a zany interplanetary scheme that’s equal parts science fiction and sweet absurdity.
