Roger Martin Bradfield (September 22, 1924 – December 31, 2021) was an American children's books writer, illustrator, cartoonist, painter, and world traveller.
In 1968 Roger created the first Keebler elves for a series of commercials for FilmFair, an animation studio, which were commissioned by Chicago ad agency, Leo Burnett.
From 1972 to 1978, Bradfield worked as a newspaper syndicate cartoonist creating the daily and Sunday comic strip Dooley's World.
These paintings mostly depict subjects that he found on his world travels and playful and fun images that he conjured up with his imagination.
He was also an extensive world traveller and visited and sketched in countries that include Greece, Norway, Portugal, France, Italy, Mexico, England, and Spain.
The scheme did not work, as the gasoline melted the bubble gum, but the plane managed to reach its destination safely anyway.
