Ferd G. Long was a U.S. newspaper cartoonist and comic strip artist. He was the creator of features like 'Bobby Bright and Sammy Slow' (1910), 'Chantecler Peck' (1911), 'Good Night!' (1911-1912), 'Romantic Rosalind' (1913 ). He published in The New York World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer. Together with Bud Counihan he alternated on 'Twas Ever Thus' (17 August - 21 September 1915), which ran alternatively as a mini-strip (at times about 1" tall) or as a regular strip, and was also known as 'Flicker Folly'. He died in 1948 at age 77.
