Bobby London (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 likeAir 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 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 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.
