George Feyer

George Feyer (1921-1967) was a Canadian cartoonist who shot to fame through appearances on CBC Television in the 1950s. As a cartoonist for Maclean's magazine he helped to define the look of Canadian popular culture through the 1950s and 1960s.

Career

Born in Hungary, Feyer emigrated to Canada after the Soviet takeover of that country and found work as a labourer. After publishing a cartoon in Maclean's, he embarked on a lucrative career that included stints as a TV personality and animator. After moving to Los Angeles, California in the late-1960s, Feyer committed suicide in 1967.

In 2006 Feyer was inducted into the Canadian Cartoonist Hall of Fame.
