Title: [Wash Tubs. Island dancing scene] / Crane.
Creator(s): Crane, Roy, artist
Date Created/Published: [1924?]
Summary: Single-panel strip shows Wash Tubbs, a little man with curly hair and big glasses, dressed in a sarong, watching enthusiastically as a beautiful native girl dances. Other natives play drums and watch. Roy Crane created Wash Tubbs as a gag strip about a young grocery store clerk in April 1924. Within a few months, the strip had morphed into an adventure strip, and Wash had arrived on a Polynesian isle and become engaged to a native princess. By the time the strip ended in 1988, Wash had been eclipsed by his sidekick, Captain Easy.
