Bill Mauldin was born in Mountain Park, New Mexico on October 29, 1921. His desire to be a cartoonist mushroomed at an early age. After finishing high school, Mauldin initiated studies at the Academy of Fine Art in Chicago. World War II interrupted his studies, and in 1940 he became a member of the U.S. Army's 45 Division. Although the war may have intervened with his studies, it did not squelch his intended career of cartooning.
