Biography
Reginald Manning was born in Kansas City, Missouri,
on April 5, 1905. He moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1919 and studied art in
high school. Shortly after graduation, Reginald began working for the Arizona
Republic, starting work on May 1, 1926. He worked there for the next 50
years. Manning's job at the newspaper originally was a photographer and
spot artist. Before too long, he was drawing daily editorial cartoons and
a weekly full-page review of the news called The Big Parade. He quit drawing
the Parade in 1948 in order to devote more time to his editorial cartoons.
In 1951, Manning won a Pulitzer for "Hats." In addition to his
lectures, Manning has published many books. Some of the books that he produced
are A Cartoon Guide to Arizona (1938), What Kinda Cactus Issat? (1941),
From Tee to Cup (1954), and What Is Arizona Really Like? (1968). Reg Manning
was one of the most prominent conservative voices in cartooning and has
won numerous awards for his work. Besides winning a Pulitzer Prize, he has
also won the Freedom Foundation's Abraham Lincoln award two years in succession.
