He also produced 'The Adventures of Peter Wheat' (giveaways from 1950 to 1956), which he took over from Walt Kelly, but he is best known for his Disney comic art.

Hubbard has illustrated numerous stories starring 'Chip 'n' Dale', 'Bambi' and especially 'Scamp'. In the 1950s he was one of the first artists who often used the character of Jiminy Cricket (from the 'Pinocchio' movie) in his Disney work. Hubbard has illustrated several comic adaptations of Disney films, such as 'Jungle Book', 'The Lady and the Tramp', 'The Aristocats' and 'Peter Pan'. He was the main artist for the 'Aristocats' related comic book 'O'Malley and the Alley Cats' in the 1970s.

Hubbard additionally did art for Disney colouring books and children's books, as well as stories for international Disney publications through the Disney Studios between 1963 and 1977.

He also originated other characters in Disney comics, such as 'Hard Haid Moe', 'Hustler Duck', 'Belle Duck', 'Tabby', 'Double-O-Duck' and 'Mata Harrier'.
