Around 1922, George Storm was on the staff of the San Francisco Daily News. He started his first newspaper strip, 'Phil Hardy', in 1925. Written by Edwin Alger Jr. (pseudonym of Jay Jerome Williams), it lasted only eleven months. Storm subsequently did 'Ben Webster's Career' for the Bell Syndicate in 1925-26 and then went on to create his own successful comic, 'Bobby Thatcher', about a 15-year-old adventurer. This strip, syndicated by McClure, ran until 1937. One of its ghost artists was Sheldon Mayer
