I love Di ck Ryan’s manic funny animal work at Centaur, and that’s coming from someone who’s not a funny animal guy. He’s a highly under-appreciated artist. Did he do much else outside of Centaur?

Doesn’t seem there’s much about him on the internet aside from a few sources like http://muttermumblegrumblegripe.blogspot.com/2010/01/art-appreciation--ryan.html

It is know that he did an Animal Crackers comic strip, worked for Chesler, and was actually one of DC’s earliest artists, having done similar children’s book-esque funny animal art for them as well, like in 1936 issues of New Comics:

It’s a super cover, and an excellent example of how good colouring can help a cover stand out.   With substandard colouring it would be still be nice, but not the stand out that it is.

And of course, there’s the art he did for Centaur itself:
