Gilbert Theodore Fox, better known as Gill Fox, was an American cartoonist whose career spanned political cartooning, comic books, and animation. Born on November 29, 1915, he entered the comics industry in the late 1930s, initially working as an artist and editor. Fox is best remembered for his clean, expressive linework and his contributions to early superhero and humor titles. He was a key collaborator on characters such as Torchy, Lady Luck, and Plastic Man, often handling art, inking, coloring, and lettering. His work appeared in series like *Modern Comics*, *Love Letters*, and *Gwandanaland Comics*, with credits spanning from 1939 into the 2010s. Fox also worked as a political cartoonist later in life, bringing a sharp, satirical edge to his craft. He died on May 15, 2004, leaving behind a legacy as a versatile craftsman who helped shape the visual language of Golden Age comics. While major awards are not recorded in available sources, his enduring output and collaborations with other early industry figures remain a point of interest for historians.
