The artist of the image, Harry Grant Dart, had a comic strip called
"The Explorigator!" :
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 The Explorigator archive!
