Notes: Ad for Fleer's Dubble Bubble Gum, featuring "Pud", a kid resembling "Tubby" from Little Lulu. Lower half of interior page nine.

It is quite possible that this Fleer ad was simply reprinted – as an entire page – with the half-page Sourpuss gag story above it. Interior page nine of the original printing, in Terry-Toons Comics (St. John, 1947 Series) #81 (July 1950), contains both the gag and the ad below it.

Comparing this issue with Paul Terry’s Mighty Mouse Comics (St. John, 1951 Series) #56 (October 1954) – same publisher and same cover date – all the other ads are the same. But interior page nine features a Dimwit one-page (full page) gag story reprinted from an earlier St. John issue of Mighty Mouse.

This particular Fleer ad is not included in an issue that otherwise corresponds exactly - in cover date and advertising content - to Paul Terry’s Comics #118, which may indicate the inadvertent reprinting of an advertisement.

Subject Matter

Genres: anthropomorphic

Character(s): Heckle; Jeckle; Dimwit; school teacher; various other students; various professors and other intellectuals; newsboy (goose)

First Line: Master Dimwit, for neglecting your studies, you're to stay after school and write your name one hundred and ten and one half times!

Synopsis: Heckle, Jeckle, and Dimwit are all grade-school students among a class of other animal-students. To help slow-learner Dimwit with his studies, the magpies invent “Answer Paste”, to help the answers to questions “stick” to Dimwit’s feeble brain. Dimwit immediately achieves great intellectual heights then falls when the jar of “Answer Paste” drops to the floor and breaks. For their interference, Heckle and Jeckle are forced to “…remain after school and write [their] names six-thousand, seven-hundred and eight times – forward, and nine-thousand, three-hundred and seventy-six times – backward”.
