Willard Mullin (September 14, 1902 – December 20, 1978) was an American sports cartoonist. He is most famous for his creation of the “Brooklyn Bum”,1 the personification of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team. He was widely published: he cartooned daily for Scripps-Howard’s New York World-Telegram and Sun for decades and was often published in Scripps-Howard’s twenty papers, as well as in the Sporting News.1
Abler Doubleday did some amazing things. He fired the first shot in defense of Fort Sumter, the opening battle of the Civil War. In San Francisco, after the war, he obtained a patent on the cable car railway that still runs there. But he had nothing to do with the creation of baseball, and never claimed to.
I thought it would be nice if someone posted an on-topic comment for a change.

I’ve never seen his work but, isn’t that going a little too far, Lucy?

Nowadays people sue over looking at them wrong.

Willard Mullen was a sports cartoonist. Makes as much sense as most lawsuits that look for anyone with deep pockets.

Contrary to popular belief, there’s no evidence that Abner Doubleday had anything to do with the invention of baseball.

At least she didn’t threaten to sue Joe Shlabotnik.
