Following World War II, Bill Mauldin (1921-2003), one of America's
great editorial cartoonists, tirelessly championed civil and human
rights in many superbly drawn cartoons that ranged from gently
humorous to sardonic and biting. After cartooning for United Feature
Syndicate, the short-lived New York Star, and the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch, in 1962, Mauldin moved to the Chicago
Sun-Times, from which he retired in 1992.
