Interesting note:
Dave Gerard (June 18, 1909 - August 31, 2003) was a prolific magazine humor cartoonist from the 1940s through the 1960s, most notably for Collier's Weekly, Country Gentleman, and The Saturday Evening Post.
Gerard was a 1931 graduate of Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana.[1] He was among the Crawfordsville-area cartoonists known as “The Sugar Crick Art School,” Bill Holman perhaps being the most famous of the group.[2]
Between 1953 and 1966, Gerard drew the newspaper comic strip Will-Yum. Will-Yum was also featured in a Dell comic book. Gerard was also the creator of Citizen Smith, a strip that featured an everyman beset by everyday frustrations; this work appeared in The Indianapolis Star in the 1970s and 1980s.[3]
Dave Gerard was the mayor of Crawfordsville, Indiana, from 1972 to 1976
