The BSD daemon was first drawn in 1976 by comic artist Phil Foglio.

The later, more popular versions of the BSD daemon were drawn by animation director John Lasseter beginning with an early greyscale drawing on the cover of the Unix System Manager's Manual published in 1984 by USENIX for 4.2BSD.

The copyright of the official BSD daemon images is held by Marshall Kirk McKusick (a very early BSD developer who worked with Bill Joy).
