Apartment 3-G
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apartment 3-G is an American newspaper comic strip about a trio of career women. The syndicated strip, created by Dr. Nicholas P. Dallis, debuted May 8, 1961.
They are Margo Magee, a brunette actors' agent, publicist, and event planner; Tommie Thompson, a redheaded nurse; and Lu Ann Powers, a blonde art teacher and widow of a U.S. Air Force pilot. Kindly neighbor Professor Aristotle Papagoras serves as a father figure.
Dr. Dallis, formerly a psychiatrist, also created the soap opera comic strips Rex Morgan, M.D. and Judge Parker. The strip's first artist was Alex Kotzky, who drew in a photorealistic style, and spent over 30 years as the artist of Apartment 3-G. After Dallis died in 1991, Kotzky took over the writing of the strip, as well as the artwork, until his own death in 1996. At this time, his son, Brian Kotzky, took over as the artist of Apartment 3-G, while Lisa Trusiani became the writer. Kotzky received the 1968 National Cartoonist Society Story Comic Strip Award for his work on the strip.
The strip's art was eventually taken over by Frank Bolle, when Brian Kotzky decided to leave the comic strip to become a teacher in 2000. Writer Margaret Shulock succeeded Trusiani.
