'Diggy the Derrick' (Frisky Fables volume 2, issue #11, 1947).
Charles W. Winter, also known as "Chuck Winter" or "C.W. Winter" was a gag cartoonist for American comic books during the 1940s and 1950s. His credits are often mixed up with Charles A. Winter's work, who was also known as Chuck Winter and drew for comic books during the same period. C.W. Winter's work was funny stuff however, while C.A. Winter drew mostly superhero and horror stories. He should also not be confused with classic illustrator Charles Allen Winter (1869-1942).
