Paul Combs, a classically trained artist and a small-town firefighter, is one of the most compelling and distinctive political cartoonists in America today. "I draw from the realities of life, not the realities of Washington," Combs says. A former editorial cartoonist at the Tampa Tribune who moved back to his Midwestern roots, Combs says serving as a firefighter keeps him in touch with everyday events and concerns. His vivid, dynamic artwork will capture the attention of readers of all ages.
