John Marshall is a Sarasota-connected American cartoonist and illustrator best known for his work on the syndicated comic strip Blondie, which he has drawn since 2005 in collaboration with writer Dean Young. Born in Waverly, New York, Marshall developed an interest in cartooning as a child and sold his first cartoons while still a teenager. He graduated from the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota in 1976, later working as an art director and freelance illustrator for clients including General Electric, IBM, and Golf Digest. His career ultimately brought him to Blondie, continuing a long tradition of professional cartooning that began with his early magazine work.
