Roger Armstrong (1917 - 2007)
Roger Armstrong, whose five-decade career as a cartoonist included doing artwork for “Bugs Bunny,” “The Flintstones” and numerous other comic books as well as for comic strips featuring characters such as Little Lulu and Scamp, has died. He was 89.
Armstrong, a longtime art teacher and a noted Southern California oil and watercolor painter, died of cardiac arrest June 7 at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, said his wife, artist Alice Powell.
As a cartoonist for Western Publishing in Los Angeles in the 1940s, Armstrong worked on Bugs Bunny and other Warner Bros. characters -- including Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd -- as well as Walt Disney characters such as Little Hiawatha, the Seven Dwarfs, Donald Duck and Pluto, and Walter Lantz’s Woody Woodpecker. Armstrong also was one of those who drew the Bugs Bunny newspaper cartoon strip from 1942 to 1944, the year he was drafted into the Army.
Armstrong, who had been cartoonist Clifford McBride’s assistant on the comic strip “Napoleon and Uncle Elby,” took over the strip when McBride died in 1950 and continued doing it for a decade. He also drew the cartoon strip “Ella Cinders” in the 1950s and later returned to working on the “Bugs Bunny” strip, in addition to working on the strips “Little Lulu,” “The Flintstones” and “Scamp.”
At Western Publishing in the 1960s and ‘70s, Armstrong did comic book artwork for the Flintstones, Scooby Doo, the Pink Panther, the Inspector, Super Goof and the Beagle Boys, among others.
