"William Ellis Green OAM (12 August 1923 - 29 December 2008), who signed his cartoons WEG, was an Australian editorial cartoonist and illustrator who drew the Australian Football League premiers posters from 1954 until his death. He worked at The Herald newspaper as a political cartoonist from 1946 until he retired in 1986. He introduced the daily 'pocket' cartoon, Weg's Day, a single column topical comment humorously presented, that appeared for the first time in 1949 and continued in the Herald front page for 38 years. Green continued working as a caricaturist and illustrator, with his work appearing in cricket books by Max Walker, on stamps and in children's books"--adapted from Wikipedia, viewed 9 March 2017, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ellis_Green
