Born in 1943, Jeff Danziger was drafted into the US Army during the Vietnam War. On getting out, he immediately became a cartoonist. With a career stretching back over fifty years, he is among the best known of American political satirists.

He has published eleven books of cartoons, one novel and a war memoir, and is the recipient of the Herblock Prize and the Thomas Nast (Landau) Prize. He worked at the New York Daily News (1982-86) and the Christian Science Monitor (1986-96), where he was twice a Pulitzer finalist.

In addition to political cartoons syndicated to US papers, his illustrations have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Times, and The American Prospect.
