Jimmy Swinnerton
James Guilford Swinnerton (November 13, 1875 – September 8, 1974) was an American cartoonist and a landscape painter of the Southwest deserts. He was known as Jimmy to some and Swinny to others. He signed some of his early cartoons Swin, and on one ephemeral comic strip he used Guilford as his signature. Experimenting with narrative continuity, he played a key role in the development of the comic strip at the end of the 19th century.〔(Jimmy Swinnerton ) at Don Markstein's Toonopedia.

==Cartoons==
Jimmy Swinnerton's birthplace is a matter of dispute, with one gallery-owner giving Eureka, California,〔 and another writing,
The son of Judge J. W. Swinnerton, Jimmy was 14 when he entered the San Francisco School of Design, where the painter Emil Carlsen was one of his instructors. He was still a teenager when he became a staff cartoonist for Hearst's ''San Francisco Examiner'' in 1892. One of his first assignments was to produce for the children's section of the newspaper a weekly cartoon, successively titled ''California Bears'', ''The Little Bears'' and ''Little Bears and Tykes''. Some comic art historians have called the ''Little Bears'' the first comic strip, preceding ''The Yellow Kid'' by three years. This assertion is debatable, depending on the definition of comic strip, but Swinnerton was certainly drawing multi-panel stories with speech balloons by 1900.
In 1896, he moved to New York by invitation to produce comic strips for the ''Journal American'', another Hearst paper. He drew a few more ''Little Bears'' for the paper, followed by some strips with a Noah's Ark setting, referred to as ''Mount Ararat''. He hit upon a durable theme with a series of strips featuring anthropomorphic tigers, which soon took the title ''Mr. Jack''. As the character developed, Mr. Jack was an inveterate philanderer, to his wife's distress. Some of his misdeeds were considered unsuitable for juvenile readers. The strip had its last appearance in the Sunday comics color supplement in 1904. In a later revival (1912–19), it appeared in the editorial pages. Meanwhile, Swinnerton continued to fill his Sunday space with a new character, a scatterbrained boy named ''Jimmy''. He drew Jimmy in various formats, eventually under the title ''Little Jimmy'', until 1958 (with a hiatus from 1941 to 1945). A peculiarity of Swinnerton's comic strips is that the dialogue appears in quotes within the speech balloons.
