'''Roger Meyers, Sr.''' is the founder of [[Itchy & Scratchy|I&S Studios]] which produce [[Itchy & Scratchy]] cartoons. [[Roger Meyers, Jr.]] is his son who took over the company upon his death.

== History ==
His first full cartoon was ''[[Steamboat Itchy]]'', in 1928. He was later criticized for his film ''Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors'' and he also made musical films like ''[[Scratchtasia]]'' and ''[[Pinitchio]]''.<ref>"[[Itchy & Scratchy Land]]"</ref>

It has been revealed that Meyers was not the creator of Itchy and had instead stolen the character from [[Chester J. Lampwick]].<ref>"[[The Day the Violence Died]]"</ref>

== Behind the Laughter ==
*Meyers is based on {{W|Walt Disney}}, and him having stolen the idea is somewhat of a parody.
*His surname has been spelt as both "Meyers" and "Myers". An instance of this is "[[Itchy & Scratchy & Marge]]", in which both forms appear.
