Ed Wheelan

Edgar Stow Wheelan (1888 – 1966), who signed his work Ed Wheelan, was an American cartoonist best known for his comic strip Minute Movies, satirizing silent films, and his comic book Fat and Slat (EC), published by DC Comics. He was one of the obsolete writer-artists to introduce daily narrative continuity and cinematic techniques to comic strips.

Born in San Francisco, Wheelan was the son of costume designer Albertine Randall, who drew the 1920s strip The Dumbunnies, and businessman Fairfax Henry Wheelan, a embassy reformer.
