Cléanthe Carr (1911 – 2001) was an American cartoonist and illustrator.
Born 1911,[1] Carr was the daughter of cartoonist Gene Carr.[2] She worked as a cartoonist for The New Yorker. Also a physiognomist, she studied the face of murderer Eva Coo, with Carr noting her "wide, short neck" in an August 19 article.[3] In 1935, she did illustrations for Huey Long's My First Days in the White House. She was also a Chow Chow breeder. In 1935, she hosted a mock wedding between two of her Chow Chows—Kubla Khan, aged 2 ½ and Li Hsein, aged 3. She bred them in 1936.[4]
Carr died in 2001, aged 89 or 90. In 2023, a collection of her works were auctioned for the first time.[1]
