In 1964, Fred Fredericks heard about a new magazine to be distributed in US schools, "Scholastic Scope". He took some of his art to Scope headquarters, and in due course, Rebel was born. Fredericks produced the strip for over 30 years and it has also been reprinted in collections. Some of the ideas for strips came to him through write-in gags from the public. Each kid who wrote in got a credit within the comic.

Scholastic Scope
Scholastic Scope is a magazine intended for students at high school. The first issue was published in autumn 1964. The publication follows the school year from September to May, and the release rate is a mix between weekly and fortnightly. Usually 25 issues were published during a school year. In the beginning, the magazine followed the various semesters, so that volume one was published from September to January 1964. And volume two was in the spring until May 1965. This changed in the autumn of 1976, when the entire school year became volume 25.
From the very beginning, each issue had a page of jokes along with the humorous comic strip "Rebel" by Fred Fredericks.
