Marge's Little Lulu

Based on John Marge's beloved New Yorker cartoons, this 14-issue series from Wilson Publishing (1949–1951) brought a new, mischievous energy to the character. Writer and artist John Stanley, alongside artist Irving Tripp, crafted charmingly complex stories of childhood, with Lulu's clever schemes and Tubby's bluster driving the comedy. It stands as a key example of mid-century humor comics, where Stanley's sharp, character-driven writing elevated a simple premise into something enduringly funny.
