Gaar Campbell Williams (December 12, 1880 - June 15, 1935) was a prominent American cartoonist who worked for the Indianapolis News

and the Chicago Tribune. His scenes of horse-and-buggy days in small towns of the Victorian era included situations taken from memories of

his childhood in his hometown of Richmond, Indiana

Labeled the Hoosier Cartoonist or the James Whitcomb Riley of the Pencil, his cartoon panels captured the flavor of a bygone era to the degree they

were deemed worthy of reprinting in the mid-20th century years after his death.

His well-known drawings include The End of a Perfect Day, depicting the American doughboy returning from WWI, and Long Boy, published on the

William Herschell song sheet. After illustrating Keeping Up with William (Bobbs-Merrill, 1918) by Irving Bacheller, he illustrated

Ring Lardner\'s The Young Immigrants (Bobbs-Merrill, 1920).

In 1921, Williams moved to the Chicago Tribune, where he stayed for the next 14 years.
