More than a cartoonist, Thomas Nast was an inventor of icons, popularizing now familiar subjects such as his illustration of Santa Claus, which continues as our image of St. Nick himself. Thomas Nast first drew Santa Claus for the 1862 Christmas season "Harper's Weekly" cover and center-fold illustration.
