Bob McCay

Robert Winsor McCay (June 21, 1896 – April 21, 1962) was an American cartoonist during the golden age of comic books.

Three weeks after their discharge, the United States entered the First World War, and the 1st Cavalry, now under the 27th Division, recalled both men back into service with the American Expeditionary Force.

[2] In 1937, Harry "A" Chesler created a newspaper syndicate, signing McCay to produce a new version of Little Nemo, as well as a daily featuring Impie.

He was a background illustrator and inker at the Jack Binder Studio, working on the Fawcett character Bulletman, and Street & Smith's Ajax the Sun Man and Blackstone the Magician.

In 1947, McCay attempted to release a modernized version of his father's Little Nemo and formed the McCay-Richardson Features Syndicate with distributor Duke Richardson.

McCay took his father's original drawings and cut individual frames out, pasting them to fit into a half-broadsheet page format, providing new dialogue and colours.
