• Artist Signed: Artist Clare Victor Dwiggins (Dwig)

Clare Victor Dwiggins (June 16, 1874 – October, 1958) was an American cartoonist. Dwiggins was born in Wilmington, Ohio. He created a number of comic strips and comic panels for various American newspapers and newspaper syndicates from 1897 until 1945. After 1945 he focused on illustration including five books published with August Derleth.

Known for his humorous style and jaunty signature of "Dwig," Clare Dwiggins was an extremely popular and prolific postcard illustrator.

Dwig's first postcard designs were published by Raphael Tuck and Sons in 1903, and he went on to illustrate many more for Tuck, Charles Rose, and several other prominent printers. Many of his best postcard designs featured comic wordplay and puns, lavish design with art nouveau swirls, and beautiful girls - modeled after his wife.
