William Steig was an American cartoonist, illustrator, and children's book author best known for his picture book Shrek!, which inspired the film series of the same name. Steig was a prolific contributor of both cartoons and cover illustrations for The New Yorker magazine, and he developed a style of less humorous line drawings that became common on greeting cards as well as in his several published collections.
