Harry Devlin was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1918. As a teen, he painted insignia on U.S. Army mail planes, which sparked his interest in building model planes. He studied fine arts at Syracuse and afterward began to illustrate for Collier’s Weekly, where he became the lead editorial cartoonist. In 1956, Devlin was elected president of the National Cartoonists Society and began a comic strip with his wife Wende -- “Fullhouse,” later renamed “Raggmopp” -- based on their family of nine. Devlin’s beautiful paintings depict American architectural styles such as Greek Revival and Victorian and appear in the book “Portraits of American Architecture: Monuments to a Romantic Mood, 1830-1900.” Devlin passed away in 2001 at the age of 83.
