Caroll Edwin Spinney was born in Waltham, Massachusetts, on December 26, 1933, to Chester and Margaret Spinney. His mother, a native of Bolton, England, named him Caroll because he was born the day after Christmas. He drew and painted from childhood, and developed a love of puppeteering when he saw a performance of "Three Little Kittens" at the age of five. This motivated him to purchase a monkey puppet from a rummage sale three years later and put on a puppet show utilizing the monkey and a plush snake. The following Christmas, his mother gave him a Punch and Judy puppet theater.

Also in the early 1930s, Dwyer worked on the strips "Bing Brown" and "When Mother Was a Girl". "When Mother Was a Girl", also created by Chic Young, was a "topper" to "Dumb Dora" that was laid out above the main strip in the comics pages. It was canceled simultaneously with "Dora". "Mr. Dilly" began and ended in 1948. His final strip, "Sandy Hill", about a boy and his family living in the country, was distributed by the Register and Tribune Syndicate from 1951 to 1954.

William Raphael Louis Dwyer, Jr. (January 29, 1907-December 13, 1987), known as Bil Dwyer, was an American cartoonist and humorist. He was known for several newspaper comic strips in the 1930s and 1950s, including "Dumb Dora" and "Sandy Hill", as well as a series of humorous books of Southern slang published in the 1970s.
Bil Dwyer (cartoonist) | Introduction
The humour in the strip relied heavily on puns and put-downs, with characters often making cynical and unpleasant remarks at others on their own side. "Taffy" Kinnock in particular is always mocked by "Fatty" Heffer's cruel cockney humour. Meanwhile, von Gummer and later Jeffroech Archer (Jeffrey Archer) are referred to by Thatchler's other henchmen as "Gumkopf" and "Archcreep schwein". Hislop and Newman skilfully portrayed events in contemporary political life in terms of the fictional battle stories as depicted in the comic-books:

The start of the Second World War in 1939, and the resulting paper shortages, marked the end of many of the titles, a definable end to the era and the beginning of what Gifford termed the "Dark Age".

The cartoonists regularly make jokes on controversial topics including abortion, madness, suicide, and AIDS. Their characters rarely have names and are usually only distinguishable by the colors of their shirts. The male characters almost always have no hair, which became a joke in itself in #642. Female characters are distinguishable by their long hair and chest size, often used to comedic effect. Jesus makes appearances, accompanied with religious puns. Some recurring characters have names, such as "Obese Maurice" and the epileptic superhero "Seizure Man". DenBleyker added that the stick figure style "makes the characters seem very transient, as if they only exist for a given comic.

Covers during the 1940s and 1950s featured caricatures of comedians by Rowland B. Wilson and others. This eventually made a transition to photo covers. Cartoonists included Bob Barnes, Irwin Caplan, Chon Day, Leo Garel, Jerry Marcus, Don Orehek, Virgil Partch, Bob Schroeter, Eli Stein, George Wolfe and Pete Wyma. The magazine paid $15 for a cartoon and an equal amount for an 18-line verse. Many of the cartoons were later recycled into paperback cartoon collections. Cartoonist Lee Lorenz described cartoonists making rounds and making a sale to "1000 Jokes": A sister Dell publication was "For Laughing Out Loud", and Dell revived the "Ballyhoo" title in the early 1950s.

Throughout the 1960s, he performed on the Boston broadcast of "Bozo's Big Top", where he played various costumed characters which included Flip Flop the Rag Doll, Mr. Rabbit, Kookie the Boxing Kangaroo as well as Mr. Lion, who created cartoon drawings from the names of children participating in the show. Through that decade, he was also a commercial artist and animator. Spinney created a puppet duo consisting of two cats named Picklepuss and Pop, which he utilized throughout the 1960s.

They went into a steep decline after World War II and by the mid-1950s only a small trickle of new product was still appearing on the market, mainly in the form of cheaply printed, poorly drawn and tasteless little eight pagers which sold for 10 cents each in run down candy stores and gas stations, circulating mainly among delinquent teenagers. Starting in 1932, Norman Pett drew a strip called "Jane" for the British "Daily Mirror" newspaper. The heroine would often find herself in awkward situations where she would lose her clothing for one reason or another. The strip was written to some extent for a military audience to boost the morale of troops away from home.

Barry was known as the class cartoonist in her grade school. While studying fine arts at The Evergreen State College, she began drawing comic strips compulsively when her boyfriend left her for another girl: "I couldn't sleep after that, and I started making comic strips about men and women. The men were cactuses and the women were women, and the cactuses were trying to convince the women to go to bed with them, and the women were constantly thinking it over but finally deciding it wouldn't be a good idea." These were the cartoons Groening and Keister published as "Ernie Pook's Comeek".

A long-running gag on the show was never to reveal the character's name, with other characters referring to him as "Comic Book Guy". The writers had intended to name the character as early as his first episode, but they could not think of a name for him, and they called him "Comic Book Guy", with the intention of naming the character the next time they used him. However, they continually procrastinated. Finally, in the February 6, 2005 episode, "Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass", Comic Book Guy nonchalantly tells Ned Flanders: "My name is Jeff Albertson, but everyone calls me 'Comic Book Guy'".

Comics historian Don Markstein was dismissive about Dwyer's era on the strip, and called his later works "Sandy Hill" and "Mr. Dilly" "even more minor." Writing in the 1983 book "The World Encyclopedia of Comics", Maurice Horn wrote more charitably that Dwyer "drew a fresh, witty, well-scripted strip," but felt that the central concept of "Dumb Dora" had grown obsolete by the time Dwyer took over, saying that "the day of the flapper had gone with the 1920s, and the strip died in the middle 1930s." Allan Holtz, author of "American Newspaper Comics: An Encyclopedic Reference Guide", felt that Dwyer continued the earlier eras of the strip "quite capably" and said that Dwyer's "style was a little looser, but still maintained a good thread all the way back to Young." Caniff himself took credit only for some of the art and none of the writing, calling Dwyer "a good gag man." "Dumb Dora" was canceled in 1936.

American comic books originated as oversized magazines that reprinted newspaper comic strips in color. These strips, coming from "the funny pages", were colloquially called "the funnies". Gradually, new material began to be created for the emerging medium of comic books. In the late 1930s, with the huge sales success of Superman, many magazine publishers and entrepreneurs jumped on the trend. One of the many comics companies founded during this time was Centaur Publications, where Lloyd Jacquet was art director and where comic creators included writer and artist Bill Everett. Jacquet then broke off to form Funnies, Inc., initially called First Funnies, Inc.

He was hired at King Features Syndicate to be part of its artists' bullpen, and in 1932 was named to take over the comic strip "Dumb Dora", the third to handle the strip after its creator Chic Young (who moved on to create the more successful strip "Blondie") and Paul Fung. Dwyer's cartooning experience at the time was limited to single-panel cartoons; he had never worked on a daily cartoon strip. He hired Milton Caniff to help him by ghost-writing and drawing a number of strips, working closely with Dwyer for the first year and a half of Dwyer's tenure on the strip.

At DC, then the leading comic-book company and the home of Batman and Superman, Grandenetti drew some of everything that was not a superhero. Beginning with "Western Comics" #27 (Sept. 1951), Grandenetti did Western comics ("All-Star Western"), crime fiction ("Racket Squad in Action", "Gang Busters", "Mr. District Attorney"), science fiction ("Strange Adventures"), and mystery-suspense ("House of Mystery"), but made his mark as one of DC's signature war comics artists, drawing hundreds of anthological stories and covers in a dozen years' worth of such titles as "All-American Men of War", "G.I. Combat", "Our Army at War", "Our Fighting Forces", and "Star Spangled War Stories".

To contribute to the war effort, Caniff decided to draw a weekly comic strip and make it available at no cost to military camp newspapers. The Camp Newspaper Service was launched to syndicate Caniff's weekly page and contributions from other civilians. For CNS, Caniff created a unique version of his "Terry and the Pirates", completely different in content from his regular daily and Sunday strips for the "Chicago Tribune" Syndicate. It premiered October 11, 1942. Minus Terry, the CNS version focused on beautiful adventuress Burma, and she was seen in single-page situations rather than a continuity storyline. After three months, however, "The Miami Herald" objected to this competing use of the character and complained to the Tribune Syndicate.

Books with cartoons are usually magazine-format "comic books," or occasionally reprints of newspaper cartoons. In Britain in the 1930s adventure magazines became quite popular, especially those published by DC Thomson; the publisher sent observers around the country to talk to boys and learn what they wanted to read about. The story line in magazines, comic books and cinema that most appealed to boys was the glamorous heroism of British soldiers fighting wars that were exciting and just. D.C. Thomson issued the first "The Dandy Comic" in December 1937. It had a revolutionary design that broke away from the usual children's comics that were published broadsheet in size and not very colourful.

Arthur Geoffrey Campion (19 November 1916 — 18 December 1997) was a British comics artist who drew adventure strips for Amalgamated Press/IPC. He started out as a tax inspector. As a staff officer in the East India Command in WWII he began drawing cartoons for the forces' magazine, "Jambo". Returning to England, he responded to an ad from the Amalgamated Press looking for artists in 1948. He was hired by editor Leonard Matthews to draw humour strips like "Professor Bloop" in "Knock-Out", and filled in on a variety of strips for AP artist Hugh McNeill, including a "Thunderbolt Jaxon" comic for publication in Australia in 1949.

The strip reappeared in the 2012 "Dandy Annual", drawn by Nigel Auchterlounie and later appeared in the comic in late 2012 again drawn by Nigel Auchterlounie. The tales revolved around Corporal Clott's bungling exploits, which often brought the entire Army to its knees: or at least, the vast base that he resided at. His superior, the bulky, beefy Colonel Grumbly was an aggressive, dominant authority figure who often bore the brunt of Clott's innocent-but-chaotic misdemeanours. Most of the action centred in the Army camp itself, and rarely ventured into the outside world. The accident-prone Corporal was often seen driving an Army Jeep, with the oft-viewed ICU2 number-plate.

Lloyd Jacquet was born in Brooklyn to a father who had emigrated from France. After serving as a colonel in World War I, Jacquet worked as an editor for Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson's National Allied Magazines (the future DC Comics) on some of the first comic books — including the landmark "New Fun: The Big Comic Magazine" (Feb. 1935), the first such publication with solely original material rather than any newspaper comic strip reprints. Jacquet remained through its first four issues, later becoming art director of the George Matthew Adams Service in c. 1936–1937, and then art director of Centaur Publications — where some sources credit him with co-creating writer-artist Bill Everett's superhero Amazing Man — before leaving to start Funnies, Inc.

Because the magazine could not receive foreign comic strip material during the war, as the main local artist, he drew most of the comics during that period. He took over the main series, "Spirou et Fantasio", from the Frenchman Rob-Vel: he added the sidekick Fantasio to the lone hero Spirou in order to add some comic relief in the series. He then created his own series, "Jean Valhardi", and drew episodes of the American series published during the war, like "Red Ryder" and "Superman", when due to the war, the American pages could not reach the publisher. His Catholic faith inspired biographies of Don Bosco and Christopher Columbus, as well as a gospel in comics form, "Emmanuel".

By 1957 Franquin was a leading artist and contributor to Belgian comics. Artist Joseph Loeckx asked him for advice on a series that could get him work at "Spirou" magazine. Franquin suggested a gang of kids similar to Branner's Rinkydinks, coming up with the name "Ribambelle" (French for "" or ""), which "sounded right". A lover of jazz, Franquin also suggested that Loeckx include a black boy trumpeter called Dizzi, named after Dizzy Gillespie. Based on a script by Marcel Denis, Loeckx, under the pen-name Joël, drew a four-page strip called "Opération ciseaux" (French for "Operation Scissors"). The gang's HQ was an old shack in a neighbourhood yard.

Colbert and his staff were very involved in guiding the style of both the writing and the artwork. Artist Scott Chantler recalls that it was assumed the comics would follow the "animated" look of the cartoons, however Colbert wanted a more serious dramatic tone "that played it as straight as he does on the show", and the artwork was toned down to suit this theme.

During World War II, after showing her portfolio to Harvey Comics in 1941, Babs was hired to draw the comic feature "Black Cat". She was one of the few female comic book artists in the United States during the World War II era. Living in the West Village, she met her husband-to-be, writer and playwright Irving Fiske, who suggested that she change her name to "Barbara Hall," which she did. She signed her work "B. Hall" because female cartoonists were not held in high esteem. Her next strip was "Girl Commandos", about an international team of Nazi-fighting women. This feature focused on Pat Parker, war nurse, a "freelance fighter for freedom." While stationed in India, Parker recruits a British nurse, an American radio operator, a Soviet photographer, and a Chinese patriot.
