Marty Murphy, RIP

Marty Murphy, a popular fixture in west coast cartooning circles, a frequent contributor to Playboy, and a cartoonist whose style was used as the visual template for the television cartoon What 'Til Your Father Gets Home, passed away August 26 in his home. He held a number of jobs on various high-profile cartoon efforts of the 1960s through early 1990s in addition to his magazine work.

Not a lot of biographical information exists for Murphy, nor is there a lot of his work on-line. You can see what I think is page of a comic here, and a nice sketch here.

According to a message board posting from Scott Shaw!, a memorial service for the late cartoonist will be held tonight in Los Angeles, with a funeral mass on Tuesday.
