Lulu Moppet is back with even more outlandish adventures and misadventures, as cartoonist John Stanley settles into kooky and entertaining suburban storylines starring Lulu, Tubby, Alvin, and the rest of the gang. Lulu is a strong, assertive young girl who is both entertaining and empowering to girls and women of all ages even if she sometimes finds herself in hot water. In Little Lulu: The Fuzzythingus Poopi, she outsmarts criminals, sabotages the boys in a masterful snowball fight, and solves the crime of the missing piggy bank! Over the course of these stories, Stanley excels at visual gags, from Lulu winning the soap box derby by turning her frock into a sail, to a lonely cloud almost getting sucked up by a vacuum. This is the second installment in Drawn & Quarterly s landmark reprint series of the classic John Stanley comic strip that was first published by Dell Comics in the 1940s and 50s. Little Lulu: The Fuzzythingus Poopi will delight longtime fans of the series and new readers alike.
Author Biography
John Stanley was born in New York City in 1914. He was a journeyman comics scripter from the 1940s through the 1960s. He began working on Little Lulu in 1945 and wrote his final issue in 1959, just after beginning to work on Ernie Bushmiller s Nancy. Stanley is considered by many comics historians to be the most consistently funny and idiosyncratic writer to ever work in the medium.
