Russ Westover

Born 1886 in Los Angeles. He related that "when the time came for [me] to make a living, [my] father put [me] in one of the stores he owned. I used to wrap parcels, and I'd draw pictures on them[.] The customers liked it, but my father didn't. We talked it over and came to an agreement. I went into the railroad business."

His first strip was a baseball cartoon called Daffy Dan. By the late 1920s, more than 600 papers were carrying Tillie The Toiler.
