Patrick
Oliphant was
born in Adelaide, Australia in 1935. After working for the Adelaide
Advertiser,
he moved to the United States in 1964 and joined the Denver
Post.
After winning the Pulitzer Prize in
1967, Oliphant moved to the Washington
Star.
An outspoken liberal, Oliphant has argued: "Nothing is better
than humour becomes an end in itself and the pacing isn't varied to
the demands of the day, the message is horribly weakened, if not nullified.
I see dismaying sameness settling over cartooning again - funny cartooning
for the sake of skirting an issue."
Pat Oliphant, Denver Post (1973)
