John Gilroy was an English artist hired in the early 1930's to create a marketing campaign featuring a family drinking Guinness. He instead was inspired by a sea lion he saw at the circus balancing a ball on his nose and thought he would draw it with a beer instead. First came the sea lion with much success. Then came other animals (a bear, a lion, a Kinkajou, crocodile, ostrich, pelican, kangaroo, a tortoise and the award-winning colorful Toucan which first appeared in 1935. Someone had to keep these animals Hydrated with beer and out of mischief, so the Zookeeper was created in 1936.
