Wyncie King
1884–1961
Wyncie King (1884–1961) was an American illustrator, cartoonist, and caricaturist best known for his work in *The Saturday Evening Post*, where he contributed art, inks, letters, and writing across 17 issues from 1923 to 1931. Born in 1884, King’s path into comics began with a background in illustration and caricature, which he honed into a distinctive style marked by clean lines, expressive faces, and a gentle, observational humor. His signature work often appeared in the *Post*, where he collaborated with editors and writers of the era, though specific co-creations are not recorded. King’s career was relatively brief in the comic book field, but his contributions to magazine illustration left a lasting impression. He died in 1961. While major awards are not documented, his legacy endures as a skilled hand in early 20th-century American cartooning, remembered for his ability to capture character with economy and wit.
