Raymond Oscar Evans (December 1, 1887 – January 18, 1954)[citation needed] was a widely circulated American editorial cartoonist who was active from 1910 to 1954.

He is best known for his cartoons entitled The Americanese Wall – As Congressman Burnett would build it[1] and It’s Going To Be Just Turned Around,[2] both dealing with immigration.

His father was a ticket agent for a railroad company, and Ray attended public schools in Columbus.

[13] During his time in Baltimore, he began to make a name for himself, and his works were published in magazines such as The Literary Digest, Judge, The Outlook, Life, and Puck.

Ireland was well known by that time and ran several strips, one of which was an occasional sketch called Flowers for the Living, which praised a local person for his or her kindness and generosity.

[16] In 1927 Ireland did a series of cartoons on fraternities at Ohio State, with Evans and Fisher appearing in the one on Sigma Pi which ran in June of that year.

[19] During World War II Evans continued working at The Dispatch[20] but also produced propaganda material for the U.S. government and the Red Cross.
