James Guilford Swinnerton (November 13, 1875 – September 8, 1974) was an American cartoonist and a landscape painter of the Southwest deserts.
He was known as Jimmy to some and Swinny to others.
He signed some of his early cartoons Swin, and on one ephemeral comic strip he used Guilford as his signature.
Experimenting with narrative continuity, he played a key role in the development of the comic strip at the end of the 19th century.
