Apparently a one-off character created specifically for this book and not based on any existing property, Dr. Popdoodle's Monsters... bears no credit for author or illustrator (though they may very well have borrowed the concept from Mayer's own Professor Wormbog, whose first appearance was the year prior. You tell me.)

Hello! I JUST recently found the site and it’s great; although it's become something of a want list for me now. (Like this book that I've never heard of....) I'm surprised how little info there is on the internet for old colouring/activity books like this. For example; I’ve been looking for info/copies/scans of some old monster colouring books from around 1979. They were sold as “Monster Colouring Books,” published by Talbotworth from Britain and were super-cheap. I went through a bunch when I was a kid. I still have two; “Swamp Monsters” and “Sea Monsters” and I know there are at least two more: “Flying” and “Space.” I’ve found no info on them over the years. If you have any information, or know anyone who does I’d be very appreciative.
