Al Smith (cartoonist)

Al Smith (March 2, 1902 - November 24, 1986) was an American cartoonist whose work included a run on the comic strip "Mutt and Jeff". Born in Brooklyn, New York, Smith was the art editor for the syndicate department of the New York World from 1920 to 1930. He then moved to work for a syndicate company where in 1932 "Mutt and Jeff" creator Bud Fisher allowed him to take over the ongoing creating of the cartoon. Al Smith also drew the strips "Rural Delivery" and "Cicero's Cat".

Al Smith received the National Cartoonist Society Humor Comic Strip Award for 1968 for his work on the strip.

Smith retired to Vermont in 1980 where he died in 1986.
