Jacky’s Diary first appeared in the papers in 1959. It was created by Jack Mendelsohn, a multi-talented comic book writer, animation director, and comic strip illustrator.
Although it did not have a long run in newspapers, it created a memorable impression on those who enjoyed its unique perspective. The strip was written and illustrated as if by a small child, purportedly Mendelsohn in his extreme youth. He described trips to the circus, fishing expeditions, visits to members of his extended family, and all kinds of adventures kids have, in a style simulating that of an actual child - except that it was professionally rendered in every way.
