Gilbert T. "Gill" Fox (November 29, 1919-May 15, 2004) was an American political cartoonist, comic book artist and editor, and animator.
Fox began his career as an animator with Max Fleischer’s studio, but left due to labor unrest. He entered the comic book industry, working for a number of studios and companies, including DC Comics. Beginning in 1940, he worked as an editor and cover artist for Quality Comics and his work graced the covers of titles like Torchy and Plastic Man. He moved to advertising, working for the Johnstone and Cushing Agency, where he met Dik Browne and assisted him on his comic strip Hi and Lois. He later worked as a political cartoonist and was quite proud of his work in that field.
