David (Dudu) Geva was born in Jerusalem. He began his artistic career at the age of 17, writing for the weekly children's newspaper Haaretz Shelanu. While serving in the Israel Defense Forces, Geva drew cartoons for its newspaper Bamahane. After his military service, Geva joined the staff of Israel TV's Channel One as a graphic designer.
Geva died on February 15, 2005, of a heart attack. He left an ex-wife and two children.
Art careeredit
Geva published cartoons, comic strips and satire columns in Israel's leading newspapers: Haolam Hazeh ("Zoo-Aretz-Zoo"), Hadashot ("The Song of the Duck"), HaIr ("Joseph and his Brothers", "The Silence of the Duck"), Kol HaIr ("Ahalan and Sahalan"), Maariv ("The Road to Happiness", "Geva's Journal") and Haaretz ("The Weekly Caricature").
In addition to his work in journalism, Geva produced dozens of comic books and illustrated children's books in collaboration with many of Israel's writers and artists. Among his most well-known fictional characters was Joseph and the duck.
In 1991, Disney sued Geva for publishing a snippet from his forthcoming monograph, The Duck Book in a local Tel Aviv newspaper. In his cartoon strip “Moby Duck,” the duck looked very much like Donald Duck with a forelock and a hat. Geva was charged with violating Disney's copyright.[1]
Commemorationedit
Rubber duck on the roof of the Tel Aviv Municipality
In homage to Geva, a giant inflatable duck was installed overlooking Rabin Square from the Tel Aviv Municipality building.[2]
