Tom Glass

Biography

Tom Glass was a San Francisco–area poster artist of the late 1960s who signed his Family Dog work with the pseudonym "Ned Lamont." Beyond the poster credits, the only biographical detail surfacing in dealer sources is an uncorroborated claim that he played bass in a group called the Jazz Mice — treat as unverified.

Why They Matter

A minor Family Dog artist whose chief point of interest is the documented Tom Glass = "Ned Lamont" pseudonym, making him a footnote in the FD-series catalog.
