George Trosley
Edit ProfileCareer
Born in 1947 to a working-class family in Woodlyn, Pennsylvania, Trosley was fascinated by cars and drawing from early childhood. He received formal art training through his teens at the insistence of his fourth grade teacher. After graduation, Trosley worked as a professional artist at a number of studios in Philadelphia, but found the work unrewarding.
In 1973, Trosley set out on his own as a freelance cartoonist, and soon after, he was hired by CARtoons as a regular contributor.
They had two children, Andrea, born in 1977 and George III, born in 1989. Some criticize Trosley"s depictions of African Americans in his cartoons for Hustler as racist.
