Francisco Flores Trinidad, Jr. (May 26, 1939 – February 13, 2009), better known by his pen name "Corky", was a Filipino-American editorial cartoonist and comics artist.
Born in Manila, he was known for his editorial cartoons for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin since 1969, and especially for his Vietnam War comic strip Nguyen Charlie.
Trinidad's comic Nguyen Charlie was carried by the United States Army's Stars and Stripes newspaper, and each day's strip was eagerly awaited by the GIs in South Vietnam.
[2] He also received several honors in the editorial cartoon category of the Hawaiʻi Publishers Association's annual Paʻi Awards for excellence in journalism.
His obituary in the Honolulu Star Bulletin noted Trinidad's advice for young cartoonists: take a stand.
