Jerry Scott

Jerry was born in Elkhart, Indiana, and raised (mostly) in South Bend and later moved to Lake Havasu City, Arizona. After graduating from high school and surviving one year of college, he began work in advertising. He had way too many jobs to list, but spent time as a staff artist, art director at an art service, ad agency, TV station and later owned an ad agency.

Jerry came to his senses in the early eighties when he was offered the opportunity to take over the NANCY comic strip. He wrote and drew Nancy until September of 1995.

In 1990, he co-created Baby Blues with Rick Kirkman (Jerry writes, Rick draws). The strip was originally based on Rick's second daughter, but in 1993 Kim and Jerry welcomed Abbey into their lives to love, educate and help produce gags. Since then, a new little gag-helper has been added to their lives. There are currently eighteen Baby Blues books in print, and several more planned. Jerry and his family live in Malibu, California.

In 2002, Jerry was awarded the prestigious Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society.
