A. D. Bubbles

A.D. Bubbles (July 4, 1776-July 4, 1876) was an American bubblemaker and educator. He was born at A.D. Bubbles Birthplace and Residence in Ogunquit, ME to John and Abigail Bubbles. From a young age, A.D. loved to make bubbles. However, when he graduated high school, Bubbles realized that what he really wanted to study was bubble-making. No schools in the United States had such a class. So, he did not study bubble-making but instead created a school to teach it. He was inspired by the legends of Fartnation and the IBB when he created a kindergarten called Little Bubbles. However the younger students didn't take bubble-making seriously enough, and just couldn't produce bubbles at a high level. So, Little Bubbles was demolished and Bubbles in the Bathtub University, or BITBU took its place. It was officially founded in 1818, and was run by A.D. until his death in 1876, when John Tuby took over. The fourth president, Ogunquit, created the Hall of A.D. Bubbles in Bubbles's honor.

As president of BITBU A.D. founded/established/created/built/is responsible for BITBU, Shabaz Hall, Abe Finkin Memorial Library on BITBU, The BITBU Royal Bathrooms, and BITBU Bank.

Yak was considered to be A.D.'s rival. Yak studied bubble making at the same time as A.D., and wanted to be president of BITBU after him. However, Yak was denied acceptance to BITBU and instead created his own bubble making school, Yak Yak University.
