Glenn's Bio:
Glenn has been the editorial cartoonist/office curiosity at Maryland’s
Patuxent Publishing Co. for the past (gasp) twenty years. He hopes to become computer literate by the end of his career and
depends upon his wife and twin teen daughters to explain the hard parts to him. As far as politics go, he was born in a blue
state (Massachusetts) and moved to Maryland,
yet another blue state. There he married a blue journalist. His children, however, wound up purple. He syndicates his editorial
and panel cartoons through Artizans.com and Cartoonstock.com and freelances illustrations whenever he can, for pizza and golf
money. For inspiration, he and his dog, Liberty, walk the woods and fields, gaining
insight through a constant debate with the local squirrel population. Glenn hates shining the spotlight on himself, never
grants interviews and really looks down on the pretentious people who write about themselves in the third person.
