Bulldog Nation has lost one of its all-time great characters with the death of legendary cartoonist Jack Davis. While Davis’s face is likely not familiar to you, his stylized drawings have been a staple on the walls of living rooms, barber shops, dentists offices, and just about every other available surface in and around Athens for decades.
Davis attended the University of Georgia on the G.I. Bill before decamping to New York to make his name as an illustrator. It may have taken some hard work, but boy did he succeed. Davis got his start in comic books, including contributing on the original comic version ofTales from the Crypt.
