American cartoonist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Armundo Dreisbach Condo (September 19, 1872 in Freeport, Illinois – 24 August 1956 in Albany, California)[1] was an American cartoonist best known as the creator of the comic strip The Outbursts of Everett True.
Condo first joined the newspaper industry in the 1880s, working as a printer's devil. In 1896, the Toledo News hired him as an editorial cartoonist as a direct response to the William Jennings Bryan presidential campaign.[2] He subsequently worked for the Cleveland Press,[3] and was then contracted to the Press's owner, the Newspaper Enterprise Association, where he created The Outbursts of Everett True.
Condo's other works included "Diana Dillpickles", "Osgar und Adolf" (1911-1915, ethnic humor), and "Mr. Skygack, from Mars" (1907-1912, often described as the first science fiction comic strip).[4]
The last comic strip to feature Condo's byline was published in 1946;[5] however, a one-off Everett True strip was published in The Capital Times in 1948 to illustrate a story about August Derleth tracking down Condo in a California nursing home.[6]
