Ed Dodd 1902, cartoonist, known for his Mark Trail comic strip. In 1930, while working as a guide in the national parks, he created Back Home Again, a moderately successful single-panel daily strip which included characters from Gainesville and North Georgia. The strip, about a hillbilly family, was distributed nationally by United Feature Syndicate until 1945. On April 15, 1946, he launched Mark Trail as a daily comic strip distributed by The New York Post to 45 newspapers. Mark Trail centers on environmental themes and its title character, a wildlife photographer and author whose assignments inevitably lead to involvement in local environmental conflicts. Trail was a younger "alter ego" of Dodd (Gurr 2006), likewise a pipe-smoking outdoorsman and conservationist but footloose and free to travel to adventure. Trail owned a St. Bernard named Andy and lived (between travels) with Doc and Cherry Davis in Lost Forest. Likewise, Dodd had a St. Bernard named Andy, and owned a home and studio (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright) in a 130-acre (0.5 km2) forest in North Georgia that he named "Lost Forest."
