Jerry Dumas (born June 6, 1930) is an American cartoonist, best known for his ''Sam and Silo'' comic strip. Dumas is also a writer and essayist, and a columnist for the ''Greenwich Time''. ==Biography== Born in Detroit, Dumas started drawing cartoons when he was nine years old. In 1954, after acquiring a degree in English from Arizona State University, where he contributed drawings to the ''State Press'', he worked as a text editor on Mort Walker's comic strips (''Hi and Lois'' and ''Beetle Bailey'').〔(Bio at Torstar Syndication Services )〕 Together with Walker, he created ''Sam's Strip'' in 1961. It only lasted until 1963 but was resurrected as ''Sam and Silo'' in 1977, still with Walker. Dumas continued the comic strip on his own from 1995 on. In 1968, he also cooperated on all aspects of ''Boner's Ark''. Apart from his work with Walker, Dumas also worked on other comic strips like ''Benchley'' with Mort Drucker and ''Rabbits Rafferty'' and ''McCall of the Wild'' with Mel Crawford. In between his comics work, Dumas made numerous illustrations and cartoons. First selling them to the local ''Teen'' magazine, he soon was published in magazines and newspapers like ''The Washington Post'', ''The New Yorker'' and ''The New York Times''.〔 As a writer, he contributed essays to the ''Atlantic Monthly'', the ''Smithsonian'', and ''The Connoisseur''.〔(Arizona State University Department of English Newsletter )〕 He also published a childhood memoir, ''An Afternoon in Waterloo Park''. Dumas lives in Greenwich, Connecticut with his wife Gail and their three sons.〔 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「Jerry Dumas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
