The Explorigator

[Dave Monroe]

Explorigator, The
Harry Grant Dart

One hundred years ago, for just fourteen weeks during the summer of
1908, the world was treated to one of the most imaginative--not to
mention stunningly beautiful--Sunday pages to ever grace the
newspaper: Harry Grant Dart's The Explorigator! While I wish we had
scans of the pages in color, we'll all just have to settle for the
whole run in glorious black & white for now. If you haven't seen these
before, you are in for a treat. Thrill to the adventures of Admiral
Fudge and his crew as they set out to explore the moon in their flying
airship, The Explorigator. This is truly the stuff of boyhood fantasy,
a group of kids playing dress-up with heads full of danger, ready for
some excitement. We have Fudge, the leader, draped appropriately in a
uniform seemingly taken straight off Napoleon. There's also Nicholas
Nohooks: the captain and second-in-command, Maurice Mizzentop: the
navigator, Grenadier Swift (pictured): the British grenadier guard,
Detective Rubbersol: the Holmesian sleuth, Teddy Typewriter: the
reporter, and Ah Fergetitt: the cook (aka the stereotype). Are you
ready to face the dangers of the moon cats? Are you ready to ride the
tame watermelons?? Well, steel yourself, it is all waiting for you in
