Frank Thomas (1914–1968) was an American Golden Age cartoonist who worked primarily for Centaur Publications.
For Centaur he created The Eye, Chuck Hardy, Dr. Hypno, and Solarman (no relation to the Marvel Comics superhero of the same name). Later in his career, he worked for Dell on The Owl, Billy and Bonnie Bee, Buddies and other characters. He wrote scripts for Andy Panda, Little Lulu, Woody Woodpecker and Little Scouts.
Also in the 1940s, he did the Dinky Doyle daily strip. In the following decade, he did the Going West strip (1951–54), as well as Hossface Hank (Al Smith Service, 1955–1964). Between 1955 and 1965 he was ghost artist on Henning Dahl Mikkelsen's Ferd'nand comic strip. His Aunty and Arabella comic panels for Cats magazine continued in print for over two decades after his death.
