George Leonard Fett (July 7, 1920 - November 6, 1989) was an American cartoonist best known for his comic strips Sniffy and Norbert.
He regretted not having a chance to sail on the Pacific Ocean, but was able to sketch a variety of characters he met on the North African coast.
On their way to New York to pursue job opportunities, the Fetts stopped in Cleveland to visit family and decided to stay.
[1] In 1961, Fett began pursuing his lifelong dream of drawing a comic strip, and had submitted several ideas to syndicates before Sniffy was accepted.
Clyde (a cat), Big John (a mouse) and other animals, birds, insects and plants were included in the strip as years went by.
