Biography
Bud Thompson was born Bernard Thompson and worked in comic strips, cartoons, and comic books under several names and aliases. His work in comic strips ran from 1931 to 1943 and in comic books on and off from about 1942 to about 1955.
Under his Bernard Thompson name, Bud did cartoons from the 1940s until the 1960s.
Thompson emigrated with his family to the United States from England via Montreal, Canada sometime during July 1911. The family settled in Hennepin, Minnesota per the 1920 census, and eventually moved to St. Louis Park, Hennepin County, Minnesota where Thompson was raised. Thompson would marry Evelyn "Ev" Syverson before 1930. By 1937, the Thompsons were living in Hollywood, California in the house of the late magician Harry Houdini. At the time of his death, Thompson was living in Savannah, Georgia.
Notes
Immigration records claim Thompson was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England, but the original English birth registration records state it was Kings Norton, Worcestershire.
