Quibbley was a comic strip by Scott Wood that appeared in the Stars and Stripes newspaper starting in 1985.

Main Characters included:

• Pvt Quibbley - A glasses wearing "loser" just trying to do the best he can.
• Sgt Mom - Literally Quibbley's mom and a seargent in the US Army who occasionally visits and terroizes Quibbley.
• Pvt Marvin - An overweight soldier.
• Bitsey - A short female soldier.
• Quimbo - Quibbley's alter ego that dresses like Rambo carrying a ping pong paddle along with ping pong balls arranged in bandoleers.
• Clump - Quibbley's dog (with some of the characteristics of Dogbert) and viking horn wearing sidekick when in Quimbo mode.
• Lt. McFlakey - Platoon leader and even more clueless than Quibbley.

At least Three book collections of the strip were published and sold in the Stars and Stripes stores.[1]
