About the Author, Bob Artley

Bob Artley was born on his family’s farm, established by his grandfather, in 1917. He began drawing as a boy, receiving extensive encouragement from the Des Moines Register and Tribune ’s great cartoonist Ding Darling. Drafted in the U.S. Army in 1941, Artley met and married Ginny, a WAC technician who shared the joy of raising four children with him. His career as an editorial cartoonist began at the Des Moines Register and continued at the Worthington (Minn.) Daily Globe , where he developed his syndicated cartoon series Memories of a Former Kid . He is the author of ten books.

Bob Artley grew up on his family farm in Hampton, Iowa. After he had become the editorial cartoonist for the Worthington Daily Globe his watercolors and essays of life on the farm evolved into a weekly feature. Since then, his nationally syndicated work has focused on the culture of rural America. He has written and illustrated ten books, including the best-selling Memories of a Former Kid.
