Dink Shannon

Dink Shannon was an early 20th century American cartoonist.

He drew a number of strips, including: Sallie Snooks, Stenographer was the first strip to feature a female office worker,[3] preceding Somebody's Stenog, Winnie Winkle, and Tillie the Toiler by more than a decade ("stenographer" was a then-current appellation for a secretary).

Sammy Small was a bad-little-boy strip in the mold of The Katzenjammer Kids.

[2] Shannon worked for the World Color Printing syndicate[4] of St. Louis, which distributed a "boiler plate" Sunday section.

[5] Shannon's work offers one of the more distinctive visual styles of the early comics with artful distortion that resonates with the work of Lyonel Feininger and the early Expressionists... Dink's art constantly feels on the verge of falling apart and rebuilding into something else – a dreamlike morphing that, in some ways, comes from the same place as Winsor McCay's surreal comics.
