Tank McNamara is a daily syndicated comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Hinds.  The strip debuted on August 5, 1974, with Jeff Millar as writer and Hinds as illustrator.  Hinds took over writing after the death of Millar in late November 2012.  The title character is a local sports television reporter who used to be a defensive lineman in the National Football League, hence his nickname.  The strip focuses primarily on contemporary American athletics, which allows it to remain topical and also to dabble in related subjects such as politics and social issues.  Before becoming a multi-sport broadcaster and reporter, Tank McNamara played college football for "Enormous State University" (team name:  the Sandcrabs), which serves the role of a generic NCAA Division I university with problem-plagued athletic programs.  The local professional teams are fictional American major-league franchises (baseball's "Bashers"; football's "Smashers"; ice hockey's "Igloos"; basketball's "Stuffers").  The strip also portrays fictional sponsors, including "Heavy Beer", spoofing the light beer ads that are so common in American sports broadcasts.  It also features caricatures of many real figures from sports.  A scientist named Dr. Tszap (also spelled Tzap) develops strange products intended to help sports teams.  In earlier years, Tank was portrayed as a buffoon ex-professional athlete (an NFL defensive linebacker, jersey number 55) unqualified to do his journalistic job.  Recurring gags focused on Tank's "fumble-mouth" mistakes (such as presenting the "Norts Spews"), and on his tendency to jump on anything loose on the floor as if it were a fumbled football.  Bill Hinds (born April 21, 1950, Houston, Texas) is a graduate of Stephen F. Austin University.  Hinds illustrated Tank McNamara with co-creator and writer Jeff Millar from 1974 to 2012, when he also took over writing due to Millar's failing health.  In addition to Tank McNamara, Bill created, writes and draws the feature Buzz Beamer in the monthly Sports Illustrated Kids.  His Buzz work can be found online at sikids.com Buzz animation.  Hinds created a parent/kids/sports strip, Cleats, which ran from 2001 to 2010.  Cleats reruns can be found on GoComics.com.  He also illustrated the feature According to Guinness for ten years, and created two experimental short-lived comic strips Clown Alley and Longshots for The Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday page.  Hinds collaborated with writing partner Millar on the Second Chances strip.  Bill Hinds received the National Cartoonists Society divisional award for Sports Cartoons in 1986 and their New Media Award in 2000.  He received an additional nomination for the New Media Award in 2002.  Tank McNamara has run in as many as 350 newspapers.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_McNamara
