Born Bucyrus, 1896; died Norwalk, CT, 1979. Illustrator. Cartoonist. Painter. Began doing cartoons and drawings for the Saratoga, WY Sun when he was 15. Attended the University of Wyoming and studied for a year at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1916 he began working for the Chicago Tribune and for the New Yorker magazine in 1925. In 1933 he developed the half-page Sunday strip 'White Boy', about the adventures of a young boy who is captured by a tribe of Native Americans, eventually living peacefully with them and learning their ways. About halfway through its run, the strip suddenly switched both its locale and time period to a dude ranch in the 1930s, dropping almost all the characters and situations that had been developed thus far and changing its name to 'Skull Valley'. Illustrated a number of books including Good Morning, Miss Dove (1954), The Finer Things of Life (1951), and Stepsister Sally (1952).
