Biography

Robert M. Oksner (January 6, 1926 – January 2, 2017) was an advertising professional. He worked for some of New York's top advertising agencies for three decades. He wrote such ads as "He's well on his way to being a brilliant surgeon. Now's your chance to stop him. Just turn this page" for the United Negro College Fund and "Full Color Sound" for Sony Tape, with art by Milton Glaser. Oksner left advertising to be an early scriptwriter for the children's educational television show Sesame Street, where he created the character Simon Soundman (performed by Jerry Nelson) who spoke mainly in sound effects. He was later a creative consultant for nonprofit, educational and public interest agencies.
