Early lifeFisher was born in Columbus, Ohio to Dudley T. Fisher Sr. and Marion Garner Fisher and grew up on the city's north side. He was known as Ting by the other children because Dudley was considered too fancy. His first work appeared in the juvenile magazine St. Nicholas. In high school he drew for the school newspaper which was edited by W. M. Kiplinger. As an adult, he studied to be an architect at Ohio State University and was recruited into Sigma Pi fraternity by Kiplinger and Ray Evans. While at OSU, he was an art editor for the MakiO yearbook.[3] At the encouragement of Evans, a cartoonist, he left school after two years to work as a newspaper layout artist at The Columbus Dispatch. He remembered that his first interview with editor Arthur Johnson Sr. was composed of them yelling at each other over the noise of the printing presses.[4][5] Comic stripsWhen hired by the Dispatch in 1911, Fisher was a retouch artist under the direction of Evans and Billy Ireland. He would later work side-by-side with another famous cartoonist, Milton Caniff. He served in an aerial photography unit in 1917 during World War I.[4] Re-joining the Dispatch after the war, he created the two-color daily panel Jolly Jingles (1924–37). In 1937, tired of devising the Jolly Jingles rhymes, he created Right Around Home depicting a suburban family. He immediately attracted attention with the experimental concept of an elevated down-angle view showing numerous characters in a large single panel filling an entire Sunday page.[6] He attributed its success and charm of this page to his stumbling "upon the truth that what readers like most is to read about themselves and the things they all do." He confirmed that the characters were all based on people, and animals, that he knew with Myrtle being based on his daughter's mannerisms.[4] Five years after its first publication, King Features asked Fisher to do a daily version of Right Around Home in a conventional comic strip format, and Myrtle began in 1942. Personal lifeFisher would marry Anne Potts on December 31, 1919[7] and they would have a daughter, Marion. In later life, he would learn to build and play pipe organs. Friends said he could play very well but he did not think his ability was good enough to play in public[4] Fisher advised young artists to "put all your energy into what you draw and stop worrying about which pen and paper to use. Make the most of your chances. You' ll never know which were the big chances until long after you try them."[4] Fisher worked for the Columbus Dispatch and on his two newspaper strips until his death in 1951 while on vacation in Rockport, Massachusetts.[4] After his deathBob Vittur stepped in to draw Right Around Home through 1952, when it was retitled Right Around Home with Myrtle. It continued under that title until 1964.[8] ReprintsRight Around Home was reprinted in the first issue (December 2011) of Russ Cochran's The Sunday Funnies.
