Virgil Franklin Partch, known as Vip, was an influential American gag cartoonist born on October 17, 1916. Active primarily in the 1940s and 1950s, his humorous illustrations featured in various magazines, alongside his creation of notable newspaper comic strips like Big George and The Captain's Gig. He authored 19 illustrated books and contributed art to children's literature. Although he worked as a gagwriter for The New Yorker, his cartoons were seldom published there due to editorial preferences, as noted by comics historian Bhob Stewart.
