Wilbur Kookmeyer

Wilbur Kookmeyer

Wilbur Kookmeyer is the title character of a cartoon strip by Bob Penuelas which first appeared in Surfer magazine in 1986.

Wilbur is a kook, a wanna-be surfer of limited skill. He wants to be cool, but remains dorky.Penuelas created Wilbur as a response to cynical commercialism that got into surfing in the early 1980s.

Wilbur started in 1985 as a character in the cartoon "Maynard and the Rat" in Surfer magazine, and was so popular the strip was renamed.
