It IS Basil Wolverton!!! Thanks, Pat; I'd never seen these early strips before! Here's a link to the complete series...

Wolverton is probably best known for his work for Mad magazine, but Fantagraphics has republished "The Wolverton Bible".
I was first introduced to Basil Wolverton via his covers for the short lived DC comic "Plop". His imagination, and style, are truly unique and may never be met.
I think the best use of his comics was the short-lived sitcom, 'My World and Welcome to it', starring William Windom. As I recall, it ran just one season, around 1970. Very funny & very smart.

With R. Crumb's illustrated Bible scheduled for release this fall, this is shaping up as a really interesting year for deviant art!

Neat to see this. Thanks Pat.
I love James Thurber.

Sadly, too smart for TV.
