About

My photo
Mr. & Mrs. George and Virginia Smith
Cartoonist George Smith and his wife Virginia began "The Smith Family" comic strip in 1950, after they had to call the fire department to rescue one of their youngsters from a treetop. Virginia and George had ten girls and one boy 44 grandchildren 118 great grandchildren and were once the subject of a protest by the Planned Parenthood League. Smith says The Boston Globe was the first newspaper to buy his comic strip. "The Smith Family" comic strip ran in the Globe for nearly 50 years. The Globe rescued me from plodding around the streets of New York free-lancing cartoons to magazines.
