Alfred Harvey was a comic book publisher and animation producer who founded Harvey World Comics in 1940. He introduced iconic characters such Blondie and Dagwood, Felix the Cat, the Green Hornet, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Dick Tracy, and Richie Rich. His characters not only made him the leading comic book publisher during the 1950s but also left an indelible mark on the world of comics. Harvey is buried next to his wife Elsa Victoria, who preceded him in death by four months. The monument features a bas-relief of his company's mascot, Joker, a harlequin jack-in-the-box character. The couple is buried within the Larchmont Temple grounds.
