William St. John Glenn
William St. John Glenn (1904–1974) was born in Belfast and at sixteen he had his first drawing reproduced in ''Ireland's Saturday Night''. This early success prompted him to seek a career in art. To gain experience, in 1919, he entered the Artists' Department in a small publishing house, Graham & Heslip Ltd., and for over five years illustrated countless booklets, and did figure sketches in black and white and colour.〔Theo Snoddy, ''Dictionary of 20th Century Irish Artists''〕
==1926–1936 – The ''Belfast Telegraph'' and "Oscar"==
In May 1926, at the age of 21, Glenn saw his own strip cartoon called "Oscar" appear daily in the ''Belfast Telegraph''. "Oscar" featured a little man with a long nose who wore the baggy trousers of the period known as Oxford bags. In August the ''Belfast Telegraph'' appointed him to its editorial staff. The same year, at a Halloween party, he met his future wife, Dorothea, and soon his strip cartoon character "Oscar" had a glamorous wife inspired by the real person.〔Rowel Friers, "William St John Glenn R.U.A.", ''Irish Times'', Wednesday 12 June 1974〕 "Oscar" was subsequently syndicated in South Africa and Australia.〔 While with the ''Belfast Telegraph'' Glenn became a member of the Institute of Journalists, and wrote his own column on topical subjects under the pseudonym "The Gay Philosopher".〔An example is in the ''Belfast Telegraph'' for 9 May 1936 where he wrote an article "Down on the Farm".〕 He also had the opportunity to be involved in experimental press photography.〔Photo of WStJG in December 1927 with noted members of the ''Belfast Telegraph'' staff.
