right Hal Rasmusson (b. January 11, 1900 – 1962) was an American cartoonist best known for the comic strip ''Aggie Mack'' about a teenage girl. Born in Crookston, Minnesota, Rasmusson grew up in Minneapolis, where he attended the Minneapolis School of Art for two years.〔(National Cartoonists Society: Hal Rasmusson )〕 He started his career doing fashion illustration. Moving to Chicago, he freelanced for several years, eventually taking a job creating greeting cards for Gibson Cards in Cincinnati for five years. He received the credit line "by Hal Rasmusson" on the back of his Gibson Cards. After Rasmusson married, he moved to New York where he worked as an art director for five years. Returning to Minneapolis, he spent nine years as art director of greeting cards with the Buzza Company.〔 ==Comic strips== He launched ''Aggie Mack'' with the Chicago Tribune Syndicate in 1946. Comics historian Eric Agena described Rasmusson's characters: :''Aggie Mack'' was created by Hal Rasmusson in 1946, and appeared in the ''Chicago Tribune'' until the end of the 1950s. It was a gag-a-day strip based mainly on the everyday life of teenagers, with the star being a cute blonde named Aggie Mack. There were also numerous supporting characters, with a lot of the guys having real "hip" names like Animal, Wayout and Swinger. The series enjoyed great success in France, where it first appeared in ''Fillettes'' in 1947. In 1960, Gérard Alexandre, who signed with the pseudonym AL.G., created a French version of the strip based on Rasmussen's creation and called it simply ''Aggie''. Back in the United States, the series was taken over by Roy Fox after Rasmusson's death in 1962. In 1966, the name of the American strip was shortened to ''Aggie'' and continued to run until its demise in 1971.〔(Comic Strip Fan )〕 Rasmusson also drew the accompanying strip ''Honey Bun'' until 1953. 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「Hal Rasmusson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
