Brad Anderson (cartoonist)
- Brad Anderson (cartoonist)
Brad Anderson (born May 24, 1924 in Jamestown, New York) is an American cartoonist. He graduated from Brocton Central School in Brocton, New York in 1943. He is best known for creating the comic strip "Marmaduke" in 1955, which he continues to draw to this day. One of his favorite inclusions in his comics was the old Cave's Meat Market in Brocton, NY. There were several cartoons dedicated to Cave's and to Marmaduke running away from the store with items he had retrieved. He was also involved in the comic strip "Grandpa's Boy", which ran from 1955 through 1980. He received the National Cartoonists Society Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for "Marmaduke" in 1978.
The repetitive nature of the themes in "Marmaduke" was recently parodied in the satirical paper The Onion. [http://www.theonion.com/content/news/some_old_man_still_churning_out]
