Walter Hugh McDougall (February 10, 1858 – March 6, 1938) was an American cartoonist. He produced some of the earliest full color newspaper comic strips, and was one of the first producers of regular political cartoons in American daily papers.[1][2] His satirical cartoons, published in outlets such as the New York World and The North American, were influential in the 1884 U.S. presidential election, and soon after political cartoons became a fixture in American papers. He also drew children's comic strips, including Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz written by L. Frank Baum, and has been called the first syndicated cartoonist for his contributions to the weekly columns of humorist Bill Nye. His books include The Hidden City (1891) and The Rambillicus Book (1903).

Biography

Walter Hugh McDougall was born in Newark, New Jersey, the son of John Alexander McDougall (1810–1894),[3] a painter and close associate of writers such as Edgar Allan Poe and Washington Irving.[4] Walt attended a military academy, and from the age of 16 was self-educated. He began his professional work in 1876 with the New York Daily Graphic, which three years earlier had become the nation's first illustrated daily newspaper. He also sold early works to Harper's Weekly and Puck.{{sfn|Marschall|1976|p=469}}[5] For a time he was part owner of the Newark newspaper The Suburban.[6] He married F. M. Burns in 1878.[5]

He began working for the New York World in 1884, and a cartoon printed on August 10 of that year became the World's first political cartoon.{{sfn|Harvey|2014|p=18}} Several of his cartoons were influential in the 1884 presidential election. One, likening nominee James G. Blaine's dinner with millionaires and plutocrats shortly before the election to Belshazzar's feast of the Bible, is credited with contributing to Blaine's narrow loss to Grover Cleveland. The cartoon, entitled "The Royal Feast of Belshazzar Blaine and the Money Kings" and co-drawn by Valerian Gribayedoff, was reprinted on billboards across New York and Blaine lost the state, and thus the election, by little over 1,000 votes.{{sfn|Hess|Northrop|2011|pp=68–70}} Author Michael R. Smith writes McDougall and Gribayedoff "may have created the most influential political cartoon in United States history."[7] "Belshazzar Blaine and the Money Kings" elevated the prominence of political cartoons, which soon after became a regular feature in daily newspapers nationwide.{{Sfn|Lordan|2006|p=49}}[8][9]

McDougall is sometimes credited with the first color cartoon in an American newspaper: a May 21, 1893, cartoon on the cover to the World's first color Sunday comic supplement.{{sfn|Marschall|1976|p=469}}{{sfn|Harvey|2014|p=20}}[10] However, the first color cartoon has also been attributed to an April 2, 1893, George Turner cartoon in the New York Recorder.[11] McDougall, in collaboration with Mark Fenderson, is also credited with the first American color comic strip: "The Unfortunate Fate of a Well-Intentioned Dog", which first appeared in the World on February 4, 1894.{{sfn|Marschall|1976|p=469}}{{efn|Roy L. McCardell, in discussing the origin of the Sunday color comics supplement, credits the "first real appearance" of the color supplement to the New York World on November 18, 1894: "There had been attempts at colored supplements before that date; but they had all failed. The Recorder, then a daily newspaper in New York City, tried to print one; but the result was too horrible—the different colored inks would not stay in their right places, and the supplement was a splotch of discolor. In Chicago, during the World's Fair, two papers tried to print colored supplements; but the result was even worse than that of the Recorder's attempt."[12]{{rp|763}}}} He illustrated the popular newspaper column of humorist Bill Nye for many years, and has thus been called the first syndicated cartoonist.{{sfn|Marschall|1976|p=469}} While his caricature of Nye was widely recognized, it was reportedly disliked by Nye himself.[13]

He illustrated the comic strip Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz (1904–1905), written by L. Frank Baum, as well as his own novel The Hidden City (1891) and story books such as Comic Animals (1890) and The Rambillicus Book (1903). His comic strips included Fatty Felix, Hank the Hermit, Absent-Mined Abner, and Peck's Bad Boy.{{sfn|Marschall|1976|p=469}} Another noted political cartoon appeared in Philadelphia's The North American in 1903: when Pennsylvania Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker—long mocked by cartoonists as a parrot—championed a libel bill banning the portrayal of politicians as animals, McDougall caricatured Pennypacker and his supporters as a tree, beer stein, potato, turnip, squash, and chestnut burr.{{sfn|Hess|Northrop|2011|pp=22–23}}{{Sfn|Lordan|2006|pp=58–60}}

McDougall released an autobiography, This is the Life!, in 1926, and died from a self-inflicted gunshot at his home in Waterford, Connecticut, on March 6, 1938, at the age of 80.{{sfn|Marschall|1976|p=469}}[14][15]
