Zenas Winsor McCay was an American cartoonist and animator. Since a young age, McCay was a prolific, technically dextrous artist. He began his professional career making posters and performing for dime museums, and began illustrating newspapers and magazines in 1898.  his signature strip Little Nemo in Slumberland debuted, a work which demonstrated McCay's mastery of colour and linear perspective.  McCay joined William Randolph Hearst's chain of newspapers in 1911, after which his comic strip, vaudeville, and animation work was gradually curtailed as Hearst expected him to devote his energies to editorial cartooning.
