The Nebbishes

The Nebbishes was a syndicated Sunday comic strip by Herb Gardner, better known today as a playwright and screenwriter. The strip was syndicated by the McNaught Syndicate from January 4, 1959 to January 29, 1961. On local New York television, Gardner drew The Nebbishes on Shari Lewis' WPIX Kartoon Klub show, as noted by Kevin S. Butler: Gardner's autobiographical novel, A Piece of the Action (1958), has a thinly-disguised recounting of the creation and marketing of his characters.
