Thanks Dave, for uploading this rare Golden Age book collecting these 1940s zany and funny, Bernard Dibble stories. It's very nostalgic, reminding me of my introduction to the newspaper comics as a very young child, during the late 1940s, which were read to me even before my grandparents and parents started reading comic books to me.

I'm unfamiliar with this character. What's with the little wings that appear (and disappear) on the shoulders of Bumlin and some other characters? Whatever they were, Dibble seems to have dropped them as time went by.

I would just like to point out that's not how ancient Roman catapults worked at all. That design is insane! ????

Wow. This comics is a rare gem. Each episode builds on the last. I need to know more about the creator and characters.

Bernard Dibble ("Dib") was a long-time prolific ad-hoc, fill-in and "ghost" artist for United Features for much of his long career. He ghosted on "Fritzi Ritz in both the newspaper strip and for comic books only short stories in "Tip Top Comics" and other United Features titles; and despite his great skill and zany and funny style, he never was recognised as drawing his "OWN" newspaper comic strip. Comic book feature, "Bill Bumlin", which ran in a few different United Features titles during the 1940s,. including mainly "Tip Top Comics, seems to have been the most heralded of his own drawn series.
