Note:

Ben Templeton became a cartoonist in 1976 when he teamed up with Tom Forman creating 'Motley's Crew', a newspaper strip of satirical social commentary featuring the blue-collar worker, Mike Motley and his wife Mabel, published in about 240 newspapers in the United States until Forman's death in 1996. The strip continued under his name until it was canceled in January 2000.
