Dan O'Neil is the author of
Odd Bodkins a
comic strip which was widely
syndicated in the late 1960's.
O'Neil has achieved a measure of fame (or notoriety) for both this strip
and the lawsuit brought against him and his co-authors production of Air
Pirates funnies.
O'Neil continues to write and illustrate great stuff

Dan's character Hugh is an Aries, I beleive O'Neil is also.
