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.
He was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, class of 1928. 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 35,000 cartoons to national, regional and local publications over the next 65 years.
Famous quotes containing the word brown:
““I am as brown as brown can be,
And my eyes as black as sloe;
I am as brisk as brisk can be,
And wild as forest doe.”
—Unknown. The Brown Girl (l. 1–4)
