1. McCay also created Gertie the Dinosaur,

believed to be the first movie cartoon.

2. artist or writer

I voted for winsor mccay because he is far better illustrator than herge. of course herge is a far better writer. I've got all the published work of both artists.

by the way, there's a dvd of winsor mccay's animation available: The Milestone Collection Winsor McCay The Master Edition. it contains animation that predates gertie, things like Dream of a Rarebit Fiend, even a couple of live action/animation shorts filmed before 1910. pretty cool stuff. mulsh-bob sez check it out.

3. Winsor McCay!! Beautiful illustration. Those must've been the days...

when newspapers gave illustrators full space. I mean, we've got some nice stuff these days, but you need your OED magnifying glass to see it.
