  • Robert Waldmire (April 19, 1945 – December 16, 2009) was an American artist and cartographer who is well known for his artwork of U.S. Route 66, including whimsical maps of the Mother Road and its human and natural ecology. Being the son of Ed Waldmire Jr., he is often associated with the Cozy Dog Drive In restaurant in Springfield, Illinois (on U.S. Route 66), the elder Waldmire (along with his friend Don Strand) having created the Cozy Dog. His career as a professional artist began during his student days at Southern Illinois University. He returned home to draft a "bird's-eye-view" poster of his hometown; merchants paid to include their businesses in the posters, which he could then sell in the merchant's place of business at a profit. He extended the idea to 34 cities, then turned his attentions to the promotion of historic U.S. Route 66. Waldmire was a well-known snowbird, spending his winter months in Arizona's Chiricahua Mountains in a self-sufficient home of his own design. During the summer, he travelled the country, but based himself in his native Central Illinois, living in a converted Chevrolet school bus near Springfield. (en)
  • Robert Waldmire (19 de abril de 1945​-16 de diciembre de 2009) fue un artista y cartógrafo estadounidense que es bien conocido por su obra de arte de la Ruta 66 de los Estados Unidos, incluyendo mapas caprichosos de la Carretera Madre y su ecología humana y natural. Siendo el hijo de Ed Waldmire Jr., a menudo se asocia con el restaurante Cozy Dog Drive In en Springfield, Illinois (en la Ruta 66 de los Estados Unidos), el anciano Waldmire (junto con su amigo Don Strand) habiendo creado el Cozy Dog. Su carrera como artista profesional comenzó durante sus días de estudiante en la Universidad del Sur de Illinois. Regresó a casa para redactar un cartel de "vista de pájaro" de su ciudad natal; los comerciantes pagaban para incluir sus negocios en los carteles, que luego podía vender en el lugar de negocios del comerciante con un beneficio. Extendió la idea a 34 ciudades, y luego centró su atención en la promoción de la histórica Ruta 66 de los Estados Unidos.​ Waldmire era un conocido pájaro de nieve, pasando sus meses de invierno en las montañas Chiricahua de Arizona en una casa autosuficiente de su propio diseño. Durante el verano, viajó por el país, pero se asentó en su centro natal de Illinois, viviendo en un autobús escolar chevrolet convertido cerca de Springfield. (es)
