George Swanson

George Swanson was the artist on the 'Flop Family' strip. This comic, about an all American family, was distributed by King Features Syndicate from August 1943. The series started as a weekly page, under the name 'Dad's Family'. It was turned into a daily strip. Swanson drew the series for about forty years, until his death in 1981.

Swanson, who started his career as an animator at the Carlson Studios, also drew series like 'Salesman Sam' (1920-1927, continued by Charles Small), 'High Pressure Pete' (1927-1937), 'Officer 6 7/8' and 'Elza Poppin'.
