Biographie de l'auteur

Jim Whiting was born in Canton, Pennsylvania, but before his second birthday, moved with his older brother, mother and father to Watkins Glen, NY, less than 60 miles to the north. The family increased by one, and all three boys completed high school in the village of three thousand residents. In 1944, when he was 17 years old, Whiting enlisted in the Navy. While still in the service, Bernita Blanchard and he were married. The GI Bill allowed him to attend art schools in Chicago and in New York, where he began to sell cartoons to national publications. After leaving the city he continued to freelance, doing cartoons for advertising, magazines, and syndication. A part time job in radio turned into almost 29 years behind the microphone and he left that job to follow Bernita to California, They now live in the seaside city of Encinitas where Jim continues to cartoon freelance for a select group of clients. Four of their five grown children still live in New York State. One son lives in Los Angeles. There are 11 grandchildren and one great granddaughter. Whiting was cofounder of what is now the Upstate New York Chapter of the National Cartoonists Society. He was cofounder (and 15 year president) of the Southern California Cartoonists Society, which in now the San Diego Chapter of NCS. He's quoted as saying: Cartoonists, pound for pound, are as nice as any people I've met.
