Hal Rasmusson
Hal Rasmusson (January 11, 1900 – 1962) was an American cartoonist best known for the comic strip Aggie Mack, about a teenage girl. He was born in Crookston, Minnesota, and grew up in Minneapolis, where he studied at the Minneapolis School of Art for two years and began as a fashion illustrator.
He moved to Chicago to freelance, then spent five years drawing greeting cards for Gibson Cards in Cincinnati, with the credit line “by Hal Rasmusson” on the cards. After his marriage, he moved to New York to work as an art director for five years, then returned to Minneapolis to be art director of greeting cards for the Buzza Company for nine years.
In 1946 he launched Aggie Mack with the Chicago Tribune Syndicate. He also drew the Honey Bun strip until 1953. Rasmusson wrote and illustrated art instruction books for Walter T. Foster, including Comics and Modern Cartoon (1950). A Aggie Mack comic book was published in 1948–49 by Superior Comics Ltd., producing eight issues. In 1962 Dell Comics published a Four Color Comics adaptation of Aggie Mack.
