Bo Brown

Bo Brown

Robert F. Bo Brown (1906-1996) was an American cartoonist. His work appeared in such places as The Saturday Evening Post, The New Yorker and some six hundred other publications. He also produced the syndicated comic strip "Such Is Life" in 1936. Bo received the National Cartoonist Society Gag Cartoon Award for 198l, as well as numerous other awards. He was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, class of 1928, and a member of the Mask & Wig Club and the Friars Senior Honors Society. Bo Brown was a law student at Penn when he sold two cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post, earning more money than fledgling lawyers could expect in 1930. So he took a leave of absence from Penn Law and proceeded, with the aid of his wife, Marge, to sell more than 30,000 cartoons to national, regional and local publications over the next 65 years. The dapper, witty and droll cartoonist met his last deadline just two weeks before his death at the age of 90 in August of 1996.
