Teen-age caveman Clubby is ejected from his family's cave because he is constantly singing rather than working. He's hired as a baby-sitter.

Indexer Notes

Bails (http://www.bailsprojects.com/WhosWho.aspx) credits Ed Wheelan with the "Clubby" feature but lists it as appearing in Harvey publications in 1940-49. This cannot be confirmed, however this particular story is clearly drawn by Wheelan.
