Born 1955; strips from 1990 · South Bend (boundary)
Jerry Scott was born in South Bend on 2 May 1955, and delivered the South Bend Tribune on his bicycle as a boy — the paper route is the local tie, and it is the tie the row names. As a writer he is co-creator, with Rick Kirkman, of Baby Blues (launched 1990), and, with Jim Borgman, of Zits. The strips are credited here as literature, as the row directs: two of the most widely syndicated newspaper strips of their era, written by a South Bend paperboy. The tie is birth and boyhood in the county seat; the strips were written from elsewhere. No comics author working from Osceola or Penn Township appears in the syndicate and newspaper records reached.
