True Classroom Flubs and Fluffs was a non-fiction American
comic-book artist Jerry Robinson. It was syndicated from 1965 until 1967[1] in Sunday newspapers, most notably the New York Sunday News (later incorporated into the New York Daily News
). It was one of a very small number of syndicated comic features dependent on reader submissions.

Robinson's drawing would then illustrate the error, sometimes including dialogue balloons for one or more of the characters in the drawing.
A typical item was a caption stating, "The
telegraph
cable was C.W. Field (Cyrus West Field).
At least two compilations were published.[3]
