	Unca Cheeks Silver Age Comics Site: SlowHerbie
		The HERBIE series was one of a handful of odd little titles published during the early and mid-60's by the (now defunct) American Comics Group; an outfit specializing in science fiction and horror "anthology" titles, for the most part.
		Most fearsome of all, however, was the sight of an angered Herbie Popnecker -- lumbering towards his chosen opponent with glacial imperturbability -- with the dreaded "hard-to-find cinnamon flavor lollipop" clenched in one white-knuckled paw.
		HERBIE enjoyed the monthly devotions of a fanatically loyal readership (of which number Your Narrator, I assure you,was amply proud to be counted) for many a year, during the greater portion of the 60's, outlasting any number of the more "serious" offerings from the American Comics Group.

	City Boy
		What appeals most is Herbie's highly developed imagination, which brings him great trouble in his passion for Lucille, the horribly obnoxious girl who as soon snobbishly deserts him when he shows the slightest flaw as fawns over him when he shows outwardly just how wonderful his inner qualities can be.
		Herbie's infatuation with Lucille Glass, his struggles with the school bully, Lenny, and his encounters with the Creek Gang are all lovingly portrayed.
		Herbie Bookbinder is a Jewish New York City kid with a little too much brains, a bit short on athleticism, and an indelible crush on Lucille Glass.

	Fat Fury
		Unbeknownst to all of them, Herbie also possessed incredible super-powers, given to him by the lollipops he constantly sucked, and when no one was watching he would secretly stop alien invasions and battle spies and criminals, before returning unspotted and unrewarded to his life of unwarranted insults.
		Herbie digs his way back to the surface to discover his father has sold the factory for a tidy profit, before his son could eat all the wares.
		Herbie decides that if he can see what real pirate gold looks like, then he could make his father a better imitation version which would sell better, and thus sets off in a flying grandfather's clock to the time of Black Bottomly the pirate.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Herbie
		"Herbie's Quiet Saturday Afternoon" was a typical ACG story, about a character despised by his peers (in this case, because he was a very fat and slow-moving little boy, and overly addicted to lollipops), but who has hidden depths.
		He proved perfectly suited to Herbie (who, by the way, is said to have been based on Whitney's own appearance as a boy), depicting the "Little Fat Nothing" (as Herbie's father, Pincus Popnecker, often called him) as a profoundly dull slug, yet able to make the character work in action scenes.
		Herbie is the subject of an occasional attempt at revival.

		Gilbert’s other four-page opus is even less clear-cut: an improv piece featuring Roy, a fat security guard with a bowl haircut that’s meant to recall sixties cult comic book hero Herbie Popnecker.
		Built on a series of tiny panels (fifty-five to a page) that admittedly were a strain for this bifocal-wearing reader, “30,000 Hours to Kill” follows Roy’s misadventures as he is unjustly jailed for a crime he didn’t commit.
		As a character, Roy tends to react more than initiate — in this sense he’s much like the aforementioned Herbie (though Roy typically has a more avuncular affect than the expressionless fat boy).
