- Biography
- Cartoonist, animator and writer Bert Green (nee Herbert), was born in England on Jan. 28, 1885. He came with his family to the United States as a young child, later studying art at Pratt Institute and Chase Art School. After working as a cartoonist for several newspapers, including The New York herald, The world, The New York American, The New York journal, and The Atlanta Georgian for ten years, in 1915 Green began to draw cartoons for motion pictures. He later turned to creating comic strips for newspapers and comic stories with illustrations, most notably, The love letters of an interior decorator, fictitious letters from a bootlegger to his fiancee (later published as a book), for Liberty magazine. During World War II, he served in the Navy, creating educational cartoons to explain complicated equipment. Green was married to Catherine Porter and had a son, Robert; after his first wife's death, he later married Evelyn Betts. He died Oct. 5, 1948 at the Bronx Veterans Administration Hospital after an extended illness.
