BOSTON (AP) — The cocreator of the cartoon “Underdog,” the mild-mannered shoeshine boy who turned into a caped superhero to rescue his girlfriend, Sweet Polly Purebred, has died. William Watts Biggers was 85.

Family friend Derek Tague says Biggers, who went by “Buck,” died unexpectedly at his Plymouth home on Sunday.
