Oscar Charles Chopin was born on September 24, 1873, to Oscar Chopin and Kate Chopin, a novelist, in St. Louis, Missouri.[1][2][3][4][5]

Chopin worked in the Post-Dispatch art department from 1903 to 1910.

Carlisle Martin succeeded Chopin as the illustrator of the Weatherbird.[7] Chopin also worked for the St. Louis Chronicle.[8]

Chopin moved to California and became a cartoonist for the San Francisco Examiner. He drew political cartoons.[9] He left that newspaper due to health problems in 1932, when he moved to the Los Angeles Examiner.[1][10][11]

After traveling to Europe in search of an effective treatment for his health problems, Chopin died of heart disease in Los Angeles on December 28, 1932.[12][13] He was buried in Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis in the family plot.[1][8][11] He was survived by his wife, Louise Hinckley Chopin; his daughter, Kate Chopin; and other relatives.[8][14]
