Bobby London (born June 29, 1950 in Brooklyn) is an American underground comix and mainstream comics artist. ==Biography== London created his underground newspaper comic strip ''Merton'', in his native New York in 1969 and the raunchy ''Dirty Duck'' strip in 1971. ''Dirty Duck'' had been originally published by the ''Los Angeles Free Press'' and subsequently in books like ''Air Pirates Funnies,'' and ''The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers''. His non-duck work also appeared in underground titles such as ''Merton of the Movement'', ''Left Field Funnies'', ''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 continued to run in ''Playboy'' for over 25 years. In 1975, a film entitled ''Down and Dirty Duck'' was released. While promoted under the abbreviated title ''Dirty Duck'', the film itself is not related to London's character or comics. In 1978, London won the Jury 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, at which point he was fired for doing an allegory about abortion.〔http://www.comic-art.com/interviews/london.htm〕 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''〔http://www.linkedin.com/pub/bobby-london/6/8a8/263〕 and ''The Powerpuff Girls'' for Cartoon Network in 2004〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2224316/〕 and contributed character designs for King Neptune and Mindy of ''The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie''.〔http://www.cartoonbrew.com/old-brew/mondo-popeye.html〕 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.〔 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「Bobby London」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
