Frederick Burr Opper (January 2, 1857 – August 28, 1937) is regarded as one of the pioneers of American newspaper comic strips, best known for his comic strip Happy Hooligan. His comic characters were featured in magazine gag cartoons, covers, political cartoons and comic strips for six decades.
Opper was hired to draw for Puck in 1880, where he stayed for 18 years. He frequently drew cartoon critical of Irish immigrants and their new found political power in urban America ~ Wikipedia
