Kupferberg. Or you could google :

Tuli "crawled into my hand"

which is guaranteed to be more enlightening.

Hello, ASAAR:

C'mon, out with it! If I'd wanted to "Google" everything, I wouldn't be
on Usenet, to begin with. <g>

Who do you think I am, Barney Google? Oh well, just this one
time, but fess up. You don't know how to use it, because the last
time you "googled" anything was with Alta Vista.

But it wouldn't get past the Katzenjammer Kids.

Right on.

Were you aware of this kind of interesting Katzenjammer issue?

<q http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katzenjammer_Kids >

The Katzenjammer Kids was so popular that it became two competing comic
strips and the subject of a lawsuit. This happened because Dirks wanted to
take a break after about fifteen years, but the Hearst newspaper syndicate
would not allow it. Dirks left anyway, and the strip was taken over by
Harold Knerr. Dirks sued, and after a long legal battle the Hearst papers
were allowed to continue The Katzenjammer Kids and Dirks was allowed to
syndicate an almost identical strip of his own for the rival Pulitzer
newspapers.

Initially named Hanz und Fritz after the two naughty protagonist brothers,
Dirks' feature was called The Captain and the Kids from 1918 on. The
Captain and the Kids was almost completely similar to The Katzenjammer
Kids in terms of content and characters, but Dirks had a looser and more
verbal style than Knerr, who on the other hand often produced stronger,
more direct gags and drawings. The Captain and the Kids soon proved to
equal the popularity of The Katzenjammer Kids. It was later distributed by
the United Features Syndicate (while Hearst's King Features Syndicate
distributed The Katzenjammer Kids).

</q>

I remember them from my childhood in the 1950s, but I can't really say
from which of the two strips (or comic books, or whatever I read).
