Isa M. Macnie (b. Dublin 9 August 1869, d. April 1958), was a caricaturist who published under the pen name Mac. She was Irish Ladies' Croquet Champion in 1907, and turned to cartooning in her fifties. At a dinner party she mentioned to the editor of The Irish Times that she saw people in geometric shapes, and when asked what she meant she demonstrated with one of the earliest "Mac" cartoons. In 1925 she published a book of caricatures with accompanying satirical verses, The Celebrity Zoo.
