This newspaper article indicates the cartoonist Jerry Marcus has passed away. The Brooklyn-born Marcus had cartoons appear in any number of magazines including the New Yorker and did a great deal of advertising work as well. He may be best known for his panel cartoon Trudy, a suburban humor strip. Collections of that work include Trudy, Hang In There, Trudy, and We Love You Trudy. Marcus was a graduate of the Cartoonists and Illustrators School, and became a member of the Screen Actors Guild in 1970 with his first commercial. His Lambiek entry is here.

A longtime resident of Ridgefield, Connecticut, Marcus is survived by two daughters, two sons, and three grandchildren.
