Herman (comic strip)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herman was a daily single panel comic strip written and drawn by Jim Unger. It was syndicated from 1975 continuously through 1992, when Unger retired.
The eponymous Herman is actually anybody within the confines of the strip - a man, a woman, a child, any animal, or even an extraterrestrial. All characters are rendered in Unger's unique style as hulking, beetle-browed figures with pronounced noses and jaws, and often sport comically understated facial expressions.
[edit] Awards
Unger received the National Cartoonist Society Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for 1982 and 1987 for his work on the strip.
Another strip entitled "Herman" by Clyde Lamb ran from 1950 through 1966.
