Dana Summers has never been at a loss as to what to do with his time. As the cartoonist for two nationally syndicated comic strips and an editorial cartoon, he sleeps through the majority of his spare time.
Summers is the creator of the comic strip BOUND AND GAGGED. He also finds time to co-create a second strip, THE MIDDLETONS, with fellow Orlando Sentinel cartoonist Ralph Dunagin. His third job is editorial cartoonist for The Orlando Sentinel. His editorial cartoons have been in syndication since 1985.
Before joining the Sentinel in 1982, Summers enjoyed success as an editorial cartoonist with the Dayton (Ohio) Journal Herald, with prior stints at the Fayetteville (North Carolina) Times and as a freelancer for newspapers in Massachusetts.
Summers is a 1971 graduate of the Art Institute in Boston. He has won awards from the Overseas Press Club and the Sigma Delta Chi Society of Professional Journalists. Born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, Summers currently resides in Orlando with his wife, Mary Jane, and three children.
