content: Roy L. Fox (1924- ) debuted his first work in <i>The Philadelphia Bulletin</i> in 1939. He began drawing <i>Aggie Mack</i> (later <i>Aggie</i>) after the death, in 1962, of creator Hal Rasmussen.
label: Description (Brief)
content: <i>Aggie Mack,</i> and later <i>Aggie,</i> (1946-1972) was a comic strip about a girl in her early teens. Aggie was raised by her father’s second wife, who favored her own daughter, Mona. Aggie's homelife interactions became less central to the strip over the years, and Aggie began to be shown in contemporary teenager, community-based situations. The strip was also popular overseas, particularly in France, where it appeared under the name <i>Fillettes.</i>
