Clifford Berryman worked as a draftsman in the United States Patent and Trademark Office from 1886 to 1891. Berryman began working as an understudy cartoonist for George Y. Coffin at the Washington Post in 1891, and remained there until his promotion to cartoonist in 1896. Berryman went on to work at the Washington Star from 1907 until 1949, eventually winning a Pulitzer Prize for a cartoon in 1944. The Teddy Bear was inspired by Berryman's iconic 1902 cartoon "Drawing the Line in Mississippi," which depicted President Theodore Roosevelt refusing to shoot a bear cub during a hunt.
