}}Charles Gustav Thorson (29 August 1890 – 7 August 1966) was a Canadian political cartoonist, character designer, children's book author and illustrator. Thorson is best known as the man who designed and named Bugs Bunny.[1]

Early life

Thorson was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, of Icelandic descent. Politician Joseph Thorson was his older brother.

From 1935 to 1945, Thorson worked in American animation studios, including The Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros.[2] He created hundreds of cartoon characters, including Snow White, Elmer Fudd, Little Hiawatha, Sniffles the Mouse, 'Inki and the Mynah', The Lady Known as Lou, and Twinkletoes. In 1939 he designed the character Bugs Bunny.[2]

Thorson wrote two children's books, Keeko in 1947 and Chee-chee and Keeko in 1952, about the adventures of a little Native American boy. He also created the character Punkinhead, which appeared in several children's books and in Eaton's catalogues for many years.[3]
