I was delighted to see McGruff the Crime Dog in Joan Knihnicki’s cartoon in your Sept. 12 issue. You may be interested to know that the creator of McGruff is none other than UR alum Jack Keil, Class of ’44. Jack dreamed up McGruff as a public service when he worked for Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising Agency. He’s now retired and is a life trustee of the University. Hey, when you’re good, you’re good.
