	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Wash Tubbs
		And Wash Tubbs (as the strip was soon renamed) wasn't an adventure strip either, at that point — it was just a series of gags about a girl-crazy young clerk in a grocery store.
		Wash's exuberant, fun exploits quickly caught on with the public, paving the way for Buck Rogers, Dick Tracy, The Phantom and all the rest that followed.
		Tubbs and Easy starred in a half-dozen or so Big Little Books during the 1930s, and a half-dozen or so Dell comic books during the '40s.

	ADVENTURE STRIPS: Wash Tubbs and Captain Easy
		Wash Tubbs was a shrimp of a fellow with spectacles and a curly wad of hair, who quickly emerged as a slang-slinging, girl-chasing opportunist, a brash version of Harold Lloyd, always on the look-out for a quick buck.
		Crane played the stories for laughs, but he also saw to it that Wash scampers rapidly from one exotic locale to another, engaging in a succession of desperate gambles to strike it rich again and, at the same time, to capture the undying affection of the latest "bon bon" that catches his ever-roving eye.
		Wash Tubbs was high-spirited and often laugh-provoking; its sole reason for being, to tell entertaining adventure stories.

		When Wash Tubbs debuted in 1929, it was the cute and quirky tale of a little guy with a big adventureous streak.

		On Jan. 7, 1929, two epic strips—Tarzan and Buck Rogers—were introduced coincidentally on the same day, and the adventure genre in the comics began.

	Nettmøte: Pat & Shelly Block :: Andeby Online
		It seems that Carl too quite liked Crane's work, and hardly anyone seemed to know who "Wash Tubbs" or "Captain Easy" was any longer, and hardly anyone had ever mentioned this artist to him...which is why he seldom talked about him.
		He loved Crane's "Wash Tubbs", the first real adventure strip, and we had quite a lot of back and forth about this cartoonists influence on both of us.
		At the very end of his life, it seemed to me, Carl was really reaching out to everyone, and it was good to see him retain his sense of humor, and his old school toughness, even into those last days of his declining health.

		This is based on people's experience of the American mainstream comic book.
		Expand the field a little to include Europe and the classic newspaper comic strips, and you can see why I would call City of Lost Children a comic book movie: it's a subtle movie with flat characters, flashy sets and lots of action, "Metal Hurlant" meets Captain Easy and Wash Tubbs, Moebius meets E.C. Segar.
		I've seen City compared to Brazil, but the fl wrought iron and sickly green have actually been cribbed from David Lynch's Dune.
