Ding Darling was a famous political cartoonist (mostly in Iowa but also New York) who was also instrumental in starting the Federal Duck Stamp program and many other things aligned with conservation. He won two Pulitzers as well. He was appointed the director of the US Biological Survey that eventually became the US Fish and Wildlife Service. He was quite the guy back in the first half of the 20th century, and we owe him a lot.
