- Peter Newell (Rice Corners, Illinois, 5 de marzo de 1862 - Little Neck, Nueva York, 15 de enero de 1924) fue un ilustrador e historietista estadounidense, creador de libros para niños, como Topsys and Turvys y The Slant Book, así como de la tira cómica The Naps of Polly Sleepyhead (1905-1906). Realizó ilustraciones de clásicos, como Alicia en el país de las maravillas, de Lewis Carroll, pero creó también libros propios (The Hole Book, The Rocket Book o The Slant Book, varias veces reeditados). Entre estos destacan los dos volúmenes de Topsys and Turvys (1893), con imágenes que pueden ser vistas al derecho y al revés. Esta técnica fue imitada por Gustave Verbeek en su tira cómica más conocida, The Upside-Downs (1904). Su tira cómica The Naps of Polly Sleepyhead, dirigida a un público infantil, se publicó en el New York Herald, en el que también colaboraban Gustave Verbeek y Winsor McCay, entre el 25 de febrero de 1906 y el 22 de septiembre de 1907. Polly es una niña con una gran imaginación y una incontrolable tendencia a quedarse dormida. Sus pesadillas provienen del último objeto en que posa sus ojos antes de quedarse dormida: por ejemplo, un gato jugando con un ovillo se transforma en una araña tejiendo una tela para apresarla. Esta atracción por lo onírico está relacionada con otras tiras clásicas de este período, como Little Nemo o Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend, de Winsor McCay. (es)
- Peter Sheaf Hersey Newell (March 5, 1862 – January 15, 1924) was an American artist and writer. He created picture books and illustrated new editions of many children's books. A native of McDonough County, Illinois, Newell built a reputation in the 1880s and 1890s for his humorous drawings and poems, which appeared in Harper's Weekly, Harper's Bazaar, Scribner's Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, Judge, and other publications. He later wrote and illustrated several popular children's books, such as Topsys and Turvys (1893), a collection of poems and images which could be viewed upside-down or right-side-up; The Hole Book (1908), which had a literal hole at the center of each page to indicate the path of a bullet; and The Slant Book (1910), which took the shape of a rhomboid and told the story of a baby carriage careening down a hill. Newell often illustrated the works of other authors, such as Mark Twain, Stephen Crane, John Kendrick Bangs, and Lewis Carroll. He also created a comic strip serial, The Naps of Polly Sleepyhead, which debuted in the New York Herald in 1905. He died in Little Neck, New York in 1924. Newell's great granddaughter, Laura Lydecker, was also an artist and children's book illustrator. Lydecker illustrated editions of Wind in the Willows and The Country Mouse and the City Mouse. (en)
