 | | Lee Falk was born on April 28 in St.Louis, Missouri, USA and died on March 13, 1999 in New York, NY, USA. |
 | | Lee did not think much of his first efforts at comic strip creation, but was advised to stick with it by fellow St.Louis resident named Harry Tuthill, who was the creator of The Bungle Family, a very popular comic strip at the time. |
 | | Falk recalls "he was a commercial illustrator who was a little tired of freelancing, and he agreed to illustrate the scripts which I would write while still in school. |
