About this Collection

This volume collects the early 1950s Little Lulu newspaper strips by John Stanley, focusing on Lulu's adventures in the working world as she takes on various odd jobs and schemes to earn money, often clashing with Tubby and the neighborhood boys. The collection showcases Stanley's sharp humor and Lulu's resourceful, independent spirit during a period when the strip was at its creative peak.

In "The Costume Party," a classic John Stanley story drawn with sharp wit and charm, Lulu finds herself in trouble after her mother blames her for stealing popovers—only to discover the real culprit might be her father. With Tubby donning a mustache from his Junior G-Man kit, the pair launches a full-scale investigation, turning a simple kitchen mystery into a delightfully absurd adventure. The story, illustrated with precision by John Stanley and Charles Hedinger and inked by Irving Tripp, features a cover by John Stanley that captures the mischievous spirit of the tale.
