Official Rawlings American League baseball, Gene A. Budig, President, signed in various inks by the 5 cartoonists. In 1975, GARRY TRUDEAU (b. 1948) of the Universal Press Syndicate, became the first comic strip cartoonist to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Editorial Cartooning. He has been drawing "Doonesbury" since 1970, taking a year off in 1983-1984. BIL KEANE (1922-2011) has drawn Billy from his popular comic strip "Family Circus," which first appeared in February 1960 and is now syndicated in over 1,500 newspapers. Billy is based on Keane's own son, Glen, who is now an animator for the Walt Disney Company. TOM WILSON (1931-2011), born in Grant Town, West Virginia in 1931, created the popular cartoon character, Ziggy, who appears in over 600 newspapers and on many licensed products. He also earned an Emmy Award for the animated special, Ziggy's Gift. Wilson began drawing Ziggy in 1971 and, in 1987, relinquished daily operation of the cartoon to his son, Tom II. Wilson has served for more than 35 years as creative head of American Greetings card company. A cartoonist since high school, BRAD ANDERSON (1924-2015) was published in the "Saturday Evening Post" and "Collier's" before he created Marmaduke in 1954. The fun-loving Great Dane has appeared not just in the syndicated comic, but also in more than two dozen books that have sold over ten million copies worldwide. In 1976, Anderson won the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award for Best Panel. Cartoonist MORT WALKER (1923-2018) sold his first cartoon at the age of 12, was regularly contributing cartoons to magazines by age 14 and was the comic strip artist for a daily metropolitan newspaper when he was 15. In 1950, he introduced Beetle Bailey, who first came to life as a college cut-up before accidentally stumbling onto an Army recruiting post in 1951, resulting in soaring popularity. "Beetle Bailey", which first appeared in 50 newspapers, was picked up by King Features in 1950 and is now seen in 1,800 newspapers, making it the third most widely distributed comic strip. Beetle and his army buddies also appear in 92 compilations of the strip. Walker is also the co-creator, with Dik Browne of "Hi and Lois" (1954), a spin-off of "Beetle Bailey" (Lois is Beetle's sister), and a number of other comic strips. He was named Cartoonist of the Year in 1953 and has won numerous other awards for his work. A few light smudges and scattered subtle feathering of ink, otherwise fine condition.
