About Marshall Ramsey
Cartooning whiz kid Marshall Ramsey began drawing when his
mother, an art teacher, gave him a pencil and a piece of paper
to keep him quiet in church. Those early doodlings eventually
evolved into the slightly warped but right on target cartoons
that Ramsey has been creating for Copley News Service since
1994. Full of biting wit, his cartoons provide a fresh,
'Generation X' point of view. Born in New Jersey, he grew up in
Atlanta and earned a marketing degree at the University of
Tennessee, where he was a cartoonist at the school newspaper.
His honors include being named winner of the 1993 John Locher
Memorial Award. Ramsey began his professional career by filling
in for the editorial cartoonist at the Knoxville Journal. He
moved on to positions as creative director at the Conroe (Texas)
Courier and at Copley News Service before becoming the editorial
cartoonist at the Jackson, Miss., Clarion-Ledger. He was a
Pulitzer finalist in 2002.
