Clare Victor Dwiggins (June 16, 1874 – October 1958) was an American cartoonist who signed his work Dwig. Dwiggins created a number of comic strips and single-panel cartoons for various American newspapers and newspaper syndicates from 1897 until 1945, including his best-known strip, the long-run ''School Days''. Born in Wilmington, Ohio,〔Rath, Jay (May 1985). "Dwig, A Pen-and-Ink Poet". ''Nemo, the Classic Comics Library'', No. 11.〕 Dwiggins was on a path toward a career in architecture but detoured into cartooning when his artwork was published in the ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch'' and the ''New York World'' in 1897. He created a wide variety of gag panels, including ''J. Filliken Wilberfloss'', ''Leap Year Lizzie'', ''Them Was the Happy Days'', ''Uncle Jim and Tad and Tim'', ''Mrs. Bump's Boarding House'', ''Ophelia and Her Slate''〔(Markstein, Don. Toonopedia: ''Ophelia's Slate'' )〕 and ''Bill's Diary''. ==Comic strips== Dwig's first comic strip was ''Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn'' (1918), which used more than a half dozen of Mark Twain's characters but employed very little content from his novels. Dwig began ''School Days'' in the early 1910s as a single panel, and it eventually evolved into a Sunday strip with a storyline about schoolkids that continued until 1932.〔(Lambiek )〕〔(Markstein, Don. Toonopedia: ''School Days'' )〕 Dwig drew ''Nipper'' (1931–37) for the Ledger Syndicate. In 1940, he returned to ''Huckleberry Finn'' in the pages of ''Doc Savage Comics'' and ''Supersnipe Comics''. He also drew ''Bobby Crusoe'' in 1945 for ''Supersnipe Comics''.〔 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「Clare Victor Dwiggins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
