	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Boob McNutt
		Comparing Boob ("without a brain in his head") to smart, clever, but less popular comic strip heroes such as Foxy Grandpa and Hawkshaw the Detective, Seldes called him "the least worthy of Rube Goldberg's astonishing creations".
		Boob was, as the name implies, a boob, back when that word's only meaning had to do with stupidity and uselessness.
		Boob McNutt started as a series of oneshot gags, which usually ended with Boob being tortured to death for his innocently destructive ways; but before long, week-to-week continuity was added.

		He was entrusted with tasks like caring for priceless works of art and the Elixir of Immortality, tasks he inevitably failed, usually in a destructive manner.
		From 1922 to 1926, the strip focused on Boob's pursuit of his love Pearl, whom he finally married, then divorced, then married again, and divorced again.
		In his seminal 1923 essay "The Seven Lively Arts", Gilbert Seldes called Boob McNutt "the least worthy of Rube Goldberg's astonishing creations".

	The Boob Weekly (1916) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Goldberg's most popular comic strip (of many!) at this time was his long-running 'Boob McNutt', about a simpleton who invariably got into trouble through his own stupidity but usually triumphed afterward through dumb luck.
		Rube Goldberg's first attempt at an animated cartoon, 'The Boob Weekly', is a parody of newsreels in general and the Pathe Company's newsreels in particular.
		But in 1916 newsreels were still silent, and 'The Boob Weekly' suffers from the same problem as the art-form which it parodies.

		His students complained that "his work in class showed little or no evidence of organization or certainty of purpose." He spent much of the class time relating how learned he was and often made the observation that certain philosophical writers took their ideas from him.
		According to the president, McNutt threatened to "show up some things of the college." He enlisted the assistance of fellow Presbyterian L. Tatum, a relative newcomer to Tallahassee and an elder in the very church Conradi and his family attended.
		Though McNutt's name was never publicly connected with any of Tatum's activities, Conradi and later Murphree became convinced that he ghost-wrote the script for the ensuing events.

	Rube Goldberg - Animation Show Forums
		Boob McNutt seems like a charcter well-suited to being adapted for a series and Goldberg's elaborate machinery designs certainly served as inspiration for many a cartoon gag.
		The most well known relative to the application of "Goldberg gags" was with the Fleischer's Grampy character of the 30s and his eccetric makeshift inventions that solved problems.
		THE BOOB WEEKLY, a burlesque newsreel gag series, was concieved by Goldberg and released by Pathe in 1916.

		Liabilities of Paul McNutt begin with a masterfulness so driving it is sometimes repellent.
		Cartoonist Reuben Lucius ("Rube") Goldberg's moronic, shock-headed character "Boob McNutt" has been retired from the comic strips for six years, but he lived in them for 15, and not for nothing did Cartoonist Goldberg, student of the U. funnybone, choose that name.

		In his automatic stamp-licker, a dwarf robot overturned a can of ants onto a page of postage stamps, gum side up; then they were licked up by an anteater that had been starved for three days.

	Rube Goldberg Summary
		It starred a plump, redheaded, and accident-prone young man, dressed somewhat like a silent movie comedian, and, as his name implied, was naïve and none too bright.
		The feature has been described as "an eclectic jumble of satire, burlesque, fantasy and cockeyed technology." From 1922 onward Boob was preoccupied with the courtship of a pretty girl named Pearl, who was the target of many a fiendish scheme constructed by the strip's villains.
		A prolific artist, Goldberg produced several cartoon series simultaneously; titles included Mike and Ike, Boob McNutt, Foolish Questions, Lala Palooza, and The Weekly Meeting of the Tuesday Women's Club.
