Timeline

1866

Boston-born (1866) humorist Gelett Burgess graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1887, and secured employment as a draftsman for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Three years later he became an instructor in topographical drawing at the University of California.

1894

In 1894, however, he made an almost complete 180-degree change from the staid, stable work of drafting and technical drawing to become editor of the humor magazine "Wave" and the next year he became editor of "Lark", a quirky, edgy (for the times) humor magazine. It was there that his famous quatrain--often wrongly attributed to Ogden Nash--"The Purple Cows" appeared: "I never saw a purple cow / I never hope to see one / But I can tell you anyhow / I'd rather see than be one". The magazine also featured his drawings of bizarre, badly behaving creatures called "Goops", which caught on with the public. He wrote a series of books filled with his humorous observations on life in general and the battle of the sexes.
