right Floyd Buford Yates (July 5, 1921 – March 26, 2001), better known as Bill Yates, was a cartoonist who drew gag cartoons and comic strips before assuming the position of comic strip editor for King Features Syndicate in 1978. Born in Samson, Alabama, Yates learned to cartoon by taking the W. L. Evans Correspondence Course, and his first sale was a five dollar first prize in ''The Open Road for Boys'' cartoon contest. He served as an aviator in the United States Navy during WWII, training fighter pilots in Corpus Christi, Texas, where he married Jessie Jean ("Skippy") Hardy. As a journalism student at the University of Texas, he edited the campus humor magazine, ''The Texas Ranger''.〔(''The Texas Ranger'' )〕 ==Forever funny== Moving to New York in 1950, he edited Dell Publishing's cartoon magazines (''1000 Jokes'', ''Ballyhoo'', ''For Laughing Out Loud'') and Dell's paperback cartoon collections, such as ''Forever Funny'' (1956). His comic strip about an absent-minded professor, ''Professor Phumble'', was carried by King Features from 1960 to 1978. In addition to work on ''Little Iodine'', Yates also did the strip ''Benjy'' with Jim Berry from 1973 to 1975. In addition to work in advertising and twice-weekly editorial cartoons for the ''Westport News'' in Connecticut, Yates also illustrated books and comic books, such as Charlton's ''Ronald McDonald'' (1970–71). In Brazil during the early 1960s, ''Professor Phumble'' was published as ''Zé Fiasco'' in the ''Correio da Manhã'' newspaper. But his more famous Brazilian nickname is the one used by the ''Folha de S.Paulo'' newspaper, ''Professor Tantã''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bill Yates」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
