In 1971, fifteen years before he started his career in Disney Comics, and while he was still studying engineering at the University of Kentucky, Don Rosa created this comic.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })First published in the campus newspaper, The Pertwillaby Papers follows Lancelot "Lance" Pertwillaby, a gifted but rather dense aspiring scientist and adventurer, who goes on expeditions around the world with various eccentric professors and his rather airheaded girlfriend, Feather Fluffnuthin, always closely followed by his two sworn enemies, Schuyler Roatch III, Rich Bastard extraordinaire, and Professor Viktor Dimitrius Smyte, who is definitely not a former Nazi scientist and high-ranking SS officer in hiding, who are hoping to cause "an unfortunate accident" for our hero.Don Rosa would later reuse quite a few of the series' story elements for his Duck Comics.

Dark Fic: As a one-off gag, Don Rosa made one with of Hogan's Heroes called "The Last Episode of Hogan's Heroes", the form of a single panel comic, wherein Sergeant Schultz presents Viktor Smyte to the titular heroes as the new commander of the POW camp. The implication of the title being that Smyte would probably neither be as incompetent or willing to put with the prisoners' shenanigans as his predecessor.

comment
Adolf Hitlarious: An elderly Adolf Hitler is revealed to be the villain of one story. Notably, Hitler actually retains quite a bit of menace throughout the story; the gags that happens him around are often played for Black Comedy at other's expense rather than Hitler's own, and it is only his defeat and death at the end of story that is portrayed as truly humiliating for him personally.

The Charmer: Lance has a way with words that exempts him from most of the expenses that college students have.
