Wacky Wolf

Posted in comics by Thad on May 5th, 2008

The writer-artist team of Hubie Karp and Bob Wickersham was utilized mostly for the Fox and Crow stories of the 1940s, but they were also responsible for “Wacky Wolf” of Giggle Comics. Lots of funny animal artists of the era didn’t seem to like making their incidental characters look very interesting (I’m including Carl Barks here, too), but every character Wickersham draws in his stories is funny-looking and beautifully drawn. Here’s their story from No. 39 (March 1947).

    Not only are the characters funny-looking, but the story is kind of interesting as well.

    Thad, do you know how many of these “Wacky Wolf” comic stories exist (Sorry for asking such a question, but I’ve never heard of Wacky Wolf before (though I already know that Bob drew funny animal comics)?

    It’s well drawn all right, and the story is funny
