Alfred Earl Hayward (1884 – 1939), was a 20th century American comic strip artist.
He was known professionally as A.
E.
Hayward for his comics work although he used his full name for his fine arts work. He is best known for his seminal 1918-1941 strip Somebody's Stenog ("stenog" standing for "stenographer").
This strip, featuring flapper-era secretary Cam O'Flage, was one of the first daily strips focusing on an independent woman.
It was the first enduring daily strip to have an "office girl" as the protagonist and to be concerned with a group of female office workers.
