content: Negley W. "Neg" Cochran (1913-2001) began his career in 1936 by drawing the Sunday comic pages for Bela Zaboly’s <i>Otto Honk.</i> After a few months Cochran left the strip to take over from Clyde Lewis on the strip titled <i>Herky,</i> which he drew until 1941. Beginning in 1957 Cochran worked on J. R. Williams’ <i>Out Our Way.</i> He drew the popular strip for the remainder of its run until 1977.
