Henry Syverson (5 October 1918 in Pine Bush, New York – 12 August 2007 in Pine Bush, New York) was an American cartoonist and illustrator, who contributed cartoons regularly to The Saturday Evening Post, This Week and many other periodicals.[1] In World War II PFC Hank Syverson served with the US Army on Okinawa.[2]
