MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1960. Stopped in 1990 (VIP had left enough material to keep the series going some years after his death).

Big George is the title of a single comic strip as well as the name of the main character, who is most often seen as a family man. VIP's humour is in the absurd category, where anything goes. An example: VIP was trained at the Disney Animation Studios, where he was used to draw three-fingered characters, so when he let himself loose in his own series he 'rebelled' and gladly drew his characters with 4 to 6 fingers on each hand!
