Happy Birthday: Brad Anderson
Born in Jamestown, New York in 1924, Brad Anderson started cartooning as a child. He attended Brocton Central School for high school, and while there sold his first cartoons (to an aviation magazine).
Anderson served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, then attended Syracuse University’s School of Fine Arts. After graduating college, Anderson focused on advertising for a few years, but in 1953 decided to turn his full attention back to cartoons.
A year later, he created the cartoon strip Marmaduke. He still draws the strip today. In 1976, Anderson received the National Cartoonist Society Award for Best Panel, and in 1999 Syracuse University honored him with the George Arents Pioneer Medal.
I just want to say thank you to Mr. Anderson. Every morning, I look forward to Marmaduke's antics. We have a Jack Russell named Charley who is similiar in 'personality'. The comic strip makes me giggle over coffee each day. Thanks for the morning 'pick me up'! And I live in the Rochester area…born on May 15th…lots in common!!
I have been a fan of Marmaduke for a long time, does anyone one know Brad Anderson's home or e-mail address, I would like to write to the author and thank him
I am a relitive of Brad Anderson. His mom Jenny Mabee lived in the Hotel Jamestown in Jamestown, NY. 14701.My father is a nephew of Jenny mabee. So that would make me a second nephew. Or she would be my second aunt.I would love to get his e-mail or mailing address to get into contact with him and to meat him.
