A. D. Condo

Armundo Dreisbach Condo was an American cartoonist best known as the creator of the comic strip The Outbursts of Everett True.

History

Condo first joined the newspaper industry in the 1880s, working as a printer's devil. In 1896, the Toledo News hired him as an editorial cartoonist as a direct response to the William Jennings Bryan presidential campaign. He subsequently worked for the Cleveland Press, and was then contracted to the Press's owner, the Newspaper Enterprise Association, where he created The Outbursts of Everett True.

Other works

Condo's other works included "Diana Dillpickles", "Osgar und Adolf", and "Mr. Skygack, from Mars".
The last comic strip to feature Condo's byline was published in 1946; however, a one-off Everett True strip was published in The Capital Times in 1948 to illustrate a story about August Derleth tracking down Condo in a California nursing home.
