PAGE TWO Bibl RICHARD BIBLER, creator of the popular "Little Man on Campus" cartoon series, at work on another Worlhal-Snarf creation. Wor thal, the not-too-bright opposite of the Big Man on Campus, and diabolic Professor Snarf, were originated seven years ago while Bibler was attending Kansas University. 200 Campuses See Worthal and Snarf Seven years ago a GI art student at Kansas University submit ted 14 cartoon characters in a contest sponsored by the Daily Kansan and won the prize—$25 and a steady job as the paper’s cartoonist. From these 14 characters the cartoonist combined “the most stupid-looking features” ino one comical creation. And the not-too- bright opposite of the Big Man on Campus saw the light of day. Worthal. was his name; Richard Bibler, his creator. The daily tales of worthless Worthal’s misfortunes, incited many times by the diabolic Pro fessor Snarf, hit home with many collegiate readers students and faculty alike. Before long the Bibler Feature Service, the only syndicated college cartoon series, was bom. Now students on al most 200 campuses follow Worth al’s plights. Bibler Points Finger Recently the campus dead-end kid burst into book form, the “Little Man on Campus,” a col lection of 87 Bibler cartoons.

He plans his cartoons a year in advance corresponding them with school seasons'such as registration, foot ball, and basketball. Boys' School Requests He finds his ideas in dictionar ies where a word may suggest a cartoon, in school catalogs where he reads course descriptions, in registration information, and, of course, in the situations he sees on campus. Meeting the varying needs of papers in all parts of the country is one of Bibler’s biggest prob lems. Some schools say “no drink ing, no sex.” Others want well filled sweaters exclusively. A boys’ school requested cartoons minus girls in classes. At the beginning of the scho lastic year, the Daily Collegian receives 120 Bibler cartoons from which one appropriate to campus events is selected each day.

Following World War 11, during which he was a field artist for the Pacific Edition of YANK, he went to Kansas University, where he received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts.
