Frank Miller

Frank Andrea Miller (March 28, 1925 – February 17, 1983) was an American editorial cartoonist. Miller was born on March 28, 1925 in Kansas City, and was introduced to cartooning at an early age by his father, who was a political cartoonist for The Kansas City Star. The younger Miller studied art at the University of Kansas and the Kansas City Art Institute before serving in the Third Army in Europe during World War II. It was at the Institute where Frank met his future wife, Catherine. After the war, Frank returned back home, married Catherine, and followed in his father’s footsteps as a staff artist with The Star.

He was a cartoonist for the Des Moines Register from 1953 to 1983. During that time, Frank drew more than 10,000 cartoons, receiving many honors, including the National Headline Award in 1957 and the Freedom Foundation Award six times between 1955 and 1964. He also received the Courage in Journalism Award of the Des Moines chapter of Sigma Delta Chi in 1961 “for placing people, foibles and the times in their proper perspective by deflating stuffed shirts and debunking sacred cows wherever he finds them.” In 1963, Miller received the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning for his notable editorial cartoon on nuclear warfare which depicts a world destroyed and one ragged figure saying to another, "I said—we sure settled that dispute, didn't we!"
