Who is Jerry Marcus?
Jerry Marcus was a prolific freelance gag cartoonist who also created the syndicated newspaper comic strip, Trudy.
A high school drop-out, Marcus was rejected by the Navy during World War II as underweight, so in 1943, he signed on with the Merchant Marine, shipping out on aviation fuel tankers in the North Atlantic. After gaining the required weight, he joined the Navy and was assigned to the Seabees in the Philippines.
After his 1946 discharge, he attended New York's Cartoonists and Illustrators School. As a freelancer, he was published in The New Yorker, Look, The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies' Home Journal and other leading magazines.
