'Barney Baxter'.
After studying at the C.N. Landon School, Robert Naylor worked in animation with the Stallings-Nolan studio. He entered the field of comics in 1928, as an assistant at King Features Syndicate. In 1928-1932 he assisted George Herriman on the one-panel gag series 'Embarrassing Moments'. When Herriman fell seriously ill in 1944, a few months before his death, Naylor also drew a few episodes of 'Krazy Kat'.
Naylor received his first byline as the successor to Frank Miller on 'Barney Baxter'. In 1946, Naylor revived Walt Hoban's gag comic 'Jerry on the Job', but after three years he discontinued it again. In 1954, he was assigned to continue Les Forgrave's 'Big Sister'. 'Big Sister' was discontinued in 1972 and Naylor retired.
