Bob Satterfield

Robert William Satterfield (October 18, 1875 in Sharon, Pennsylvania – February 17, 1958 in Glendale, California), also known as "Sat", was an American cartoonist known for his editorial cartoons; he also created the comic strips The Family Next Door, Oh Thunder, and The Bicker Family; as well as the daily panels Sat's Bear and Days We'll Never Forget, as well as Bizzy Bear. • Illustration — "Sat's Bear" in 1903 cartoon.

In 1898, Satterfield was transferred to the Kansas City World, where he functioned as that paper's entire art department for four years until 1902, when Mark Hanna hired him to be a full-time cartoonist for the Cleveland News.
