Carey Cassius Orr (January 17, 1890 Ada, Ohio-May 16, 1967) was an American editorial cartoonist. In his youth, Orr was a semi-professional baseball pitcher, and he used the money he made from baseball to study at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. After a $15 a week job at the Chicago Examiner, he was 24 when he began at the Nashville Tennessean as a full-time editorial cartoonist. In 1917, he signed on with the Chicago Tribune, where he stayed for 46 years. He drew the Kernel Cootie comic strip. Carey Orr met and served as an early role model to Walt Disney when Disney moved back to Chicago. According to Neal Gabler's "Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination",
