Everything about Bobby London totally explained
Bobby London (born 1950) is an
underground comix and mainstream comics artist. He created the first "hip" situation comedy in any medium, his underground newspaper strip
Merton, in his native New York in 1969 and the raunchy comic strip
Dirty Duck in 1971.
Dirty Duck had been originally published by The Los Angeles Free Press and subsequently in books like
Air Pirates Funnies, and
The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. His non-duck work also appeared in underground titles such as
Merton,
Douglas Comics,
Facts O' Life Funnies and
El Perfecto Comics. In 1972 London moved
Dirty Duck to the original
National Lampoon where it was a regular monthly feature until 1976; it has continued to run in
Playboy for over 25 years.
In 1975, a film entitled
Dirty Duck was released, but it had absolutely nothing to do with London's comic strip. However, London viewed the film as a rip-off of his work, and tried to sue
Roger Corman and
New World Pictures, but was unable to find anyone to take his case. In 1978, London won the Jury
Yellow Kid Award for Best Artist-Writer, contributed illustrations to
The New York Times Op-Ed page from 1976 to 1981 and wrote and drew the
Popeye syndicated daily comic strip for
King Features from 1986 to 1992. In the summer of 2000, he finally unveiled a family-oriented comic feature for
Nickelodeon Magazine entitled
Cody, co-wrote and storyboarded episodes of
Dexter's Laboratory and
The Powerpuff Girls for
Cartoon Network in 2004 and contributed character designs for King Neptune and Mindy of
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. He returned to comic books for the first time in 30 years with contributions to the
Grammy-nominated box set from
Rhino Records,
Weird Tales Of The Ramones, in 2005.
