Disclose Notes: Gullub writer credit induced per two sources.

1) Catalog of Copyright Entries 1946 Pamphlets, Leaflets, Contributions to Newspapers or Periodicals, Etc. Maps New Series Vol 43 Pt 1 by Library of Congress. Copyright Office. Books - Group II - 1946. Page 25. It states:

Gollub, Morris. Comic strips.

The chick who couldn't swim and the duckling whose mother wouldn't let him. v. 1, no. 3. © 7-16-46; A 3172.
Chucky the colt. © 6-14-46; A 2887.
Two little foxes. © 5-14-46: A 2550.
© Oskar Lebeck, Croton-on-Hudson, N. Y.

• 2) Michael Barrier, Funnybooks (U.C. Press, Oakland, 2015), which states:

Page 212:
"Gollub's first story for Animal Comics, 'Cubby and Tubby."

[It appears in Animal Comics #19. The GCD on-sale date for the issue is Jan 14, 1946.]

Page 28:
"In all cases where we supply the artist with either book character...the artist is handling the writing of the strip..." - Lebeck.

Page 31:
"After the first few episodes, Oskar left the artist-author to go pretty much on his own." - Frank Thomas.

Page 214:
"'In the early days,' Gollub said, 'I tried to write stories. I never liked writing stories. I thought it was time away from the drawing board. Noonan liked to write; he could do it better than I did...I enjoyed the drawing.' LeBeck accommodated Gollub by providing him with scripts." - Barrier.

By Animal Comics #27, Gollub had begun illustrating Gaylord Du Bois scripts, the first episode of Chuckeagon Charley's Tales. The issue's on-sale date: May 16, 1947. Gollub went on to illustrate many Du Bois scripts. But "in the early days" he tried adhering to Lebeck's old policy.
