Ralph Briggs Fuller (March 9, 1890 – August 16, 1963) was an American cartoonist best known for his long-running comic strip Oaky Doaks, featuring the humorous adventures of a good-hearted knight in the Middle Ages.

For years he contributed cartoons to Puck, Judge, Collier's, Harper's, Liberty, Ballyhoo, College Humor and The New Yorker.

With the collapse of Judge and other humor magazines, Fuller's freelance markets were diminishing, so he considered doing a comic strip.

However, Fuller had a tough decision to make, since AP Newsfeatures was auditioning several artists to draw Oaky Doaks, scripted by the syndicate's comics editor, Bill McCleery.

When he finished, he had made his decision; he saw the comic possibilities of Oaky Doaks, and he also would have the opportunity to do a strip displaying his name as the artist.

[3][5] The Oaky Doaks Sunday strip, which began in 1941, was initially drawn by Bill Dyer (who also worked on The Adventures of Patsy) and later by Fuller.

[6] He drew Oaky Doaks from his home in Tenafly, New Jersey, where his studio, painted light green and curtained in gold, overlooked his back lawn.

I just finished a Sunday sequence where there was a combination of pirates and Indians and buried gold, shipwrecks, cast-ashore-on-a-desert-island and anything a kid would want in a feature.
