Tubby (Little Lulu) - Kleenex Tissues - Premium Promotional Advertising Mask (1950's)

This vintage Tubby paper mask, issued in the 1950s by Kleenex Tissues, features the lovable sidekick from the famous Little Lulu comic strip. Tubby Tompkins, known for his mischievous personality and humorous escapades with Lulu, was a key figure in Marjorie Henderson Buell’s (Marge) enduring comic universe.

Kleenex partnered with popular comic characters during the postwar years to promote their household products in a lighthearted, family-friendly way. Masks like this one were often distributed as premiums—either included in packaging or by mail-in redemption—to capture the attention of children while linking the Kleenex brand to fun and play.
