Career

Scott started cartooning professionally in the mid-1970s by submitting gag cartoons to magazines, and he sold one from his first batch to the Saturday Evening Post.

In 1983, Scott was selected to succeed Mark Lasky (in the wake of Lasky's sudden death) on Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy.

Scott modernized the strip to his own specifications, and eventually handed it over to Guy Gilchrist in the 1990s.

Scott became friends with Rick Kirkman and they created Baby Blues, a comic based on American family life with young children.
