Packer, Fred Little (1886 - 1956)
After graduating from the Chicago Art Institute in 1906, Packer joined the staff of the Los Angeles Examiner as an artist, supplying drawings for the Sunday supplements. In 1907 until 1931, he worked as a commercial artist doing book and magazine illustration. In 1932, Packer started work as a cartoonist on the New York Journal and the New York American. The following year, Packer began to draw for the New York Daily Mirror, with which he worked for for the next two decades. A frequent critic of President Harry S. Truman, Packer won the Pulitzer Prize in 1952 for this cartoon mocking Truman’s take on confidential information, titled “Your Editors Ought to Have More Sense Than to Print What I Say!”
