Alex Anderson (cartoonist)
- Alex Anderson (cartoonist)
Alex Anderson is a cartoonist who created the characters of Rocky the Flying Squirrel, Bullwinkle, and Dudley Do-Right, as well as the more obscure Crusader Rabbit. He was not directly involved in The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show though, because he did not want to move from San Francisco to Los Angeles with business partner and childhood friend Jay Ward. Ward recruited others in Los Angeles, and Anderson functioned only in a consulting role, thereby missing out on most of the credit for his creations.
Anderson recently settled in legal action with Jay Ward Productions since Ward had improperly copyrighted the characters in Ward's name alone. Anderson is now acknowledged as the creator of the characters. Ted Key, creator of the comic strip Hazel, had a similar situation with his characters Mr. Peabody and his pet boy Sherman.
Anderson is the nephew of Terrytoons creator Paul Terry.
