Born in Superior, Wisconsin, in 1891, Daniel Robert Fitzpatrick studied anatomy and life drawing for two years at the Art Institute of Chicago before getting his first cartooning job in 1911 at the Chicago Daily-News. Two years later he moved to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, where he remained until his retirement in 1958.
Acknowledged by many as the dean of editorial cartoonists, "Fitz" strongly supported the rights of the underdog while attacking the conservative establishm (showing 500 of 3700 characters). |
