Anthony J. Strobl, Jr (1915–1991) was a United States Army soldier associated with Camp Ritchie, Maryland. Anthony enlisted at Los Angeles, California.

Biography

He was born in Cleveland, Ohio and attended Cleveland School of Art from 1933 to 1937, with Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, who actually got some help from Strobl creating Superman.

Some of those ones presented noteworthy one-off characters that were involved with distinct members of the Duck Family, such as Minny Pearl Beauregard, a country lady who had vowed to become Scrooge McDuck's bride after being saved from drowning by him; Charlie, an old school chum of Daisy Duck who became a distinguished jet pilot and almost became her fiancé; and Vonda Von Duck, a female citizen of the fictional country of Zonrovia who at first had enjoyed very much a photo of Donald Duck that he sent to her.

Anthony Joseph Strobl (May 12, 1915 – December 29, 1991) was an American comics artist and animator. After a refusal, he eventually was hired in 1938. In 1942, Strobl saved a seven-year-old girl from drowning while working for an Army propaganda unit.

Starting with a Bucky Bug story for Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #100 in 1949, Strobl had a long and impressive production of Disney comics. According to the book Walt's People - Volume 3: Talking Disney with the Artists who Knew Him by Didier Ghez, which presents a full reprint of an interview with Tony himself made by Klaus Strzyz in 1980, the prolific cartoonist got used to the idea of seeing Disney publishing comic stories without giving credit to their respective creators, but not without having a little resentment. In the Hall of Fame series of hardcover books devoted to the greatest Duck (and Mouse) comics artists, published in Norwegian, Danish and Swedish by Egmont, Volume 15 (2006) is dedicated to Strobl's work.
