In fact, Stanley was inspired to draw issues #2-#9 in their entirety."

"John Stanley (W/A) Dark Horse's new full-color series collecting John Stanley's never-before-reprinted Tubby continues! Take a walk down the other end of Little Lulu's Main Street, as seen through the eyes of Lulu's best pal and worst nemesis, Tubby. And what a different view it is! With the same warmth and wit Stanley brought to Lulu, Tubby looks at the more fantastical side of Lulu and Tubby's world, as Tub has adventures with monsters, ghosts, crooks, and even aliens, all while still finding time to get into scrapes with the fellers and woo the elusive Gloria. A great companion to Little Lulu, Tubby is sure to tickle the funny bone of comics fans of any age!"

"John Stanley (W/A) Bringing all the energy and wit of his signature series, Little Lulu, Stanley made the Tubby spinoff a classic in its own right, and the proof is in these pages. Whether courting Gloria, scrapping with the fellers, looking after his cousin Chubby, or having completely different kinds of adventures as a detective or with his tiny friends from Mars, Tubby's schemes may not always work, but they're always hilarious. A great companion to Little Lulu, The Frog Boy reprints six complete Tubby comics in full color!"

"John Stanley (W/A) and Lloyd White (A) Already beloved for his incredible run on Little Lulu, all-time great John Stanley brought the same magic to Lulu's best friend/worst nemesis in Tubby, with a brilliant mix of preadolescent pranks and supernatural escapades. In these stories, an alligator runs loose on Main Street, Martians help Santa Claus deliver presents, the boys find a dinosaur egg, and Tub can't escape Tiny Tot's Tonic no matter where he goes, as Stanley and artistic collaborator Lloyd White deliver some of the biggest laughs in comics history!"
