Scott Shaw (often spelled Scott Shaw!) is a United States cartoonist and animator. Among Scott's comic-book work is Hanna Barbera's The Flintstones (for Marvel Comics and Harvey Comics), Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew (for DC Comics), and Simpsons Comics (for Bongo Comics). He was also the first artist for the the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic. Currently he also maintains a regular column for Comic Book Resources.com called Oddball Comics, which spotlights the many "oddball" comic-book covers published over the years.

Scott has been a fan of cartoons and comic-books since he was a child. Among his favorite cartoons were Popeye
, The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, The Ruff & Reddy Show, and The Flintstones. He enjoyed comics by Carl Barks, Jack Kirby, Harvey Kurtzman, and Mort Walker. Many of these cartoons and comics went on to influence his own artistic style.

He began selling his artwork while still in his teens after choosing a career as a cartoonist. Throughout the 1970s he contributed several stories to various underground comix. He also found work as an inker and then as a writer and penciller for a line of Hanna-Barbera comics which were originally published by Marvel Comics. Eventually he was hired to the Hanna-Barbera staff and became layout supervisor and character designer on The Flintstones comic-book series.

Scott's work in TV animation includes Richie Rich, Popeye
, The Smurfs, and The Bungle Brothers segments for The Kwicky Koala Show.
