Mike Peters (cartoonist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Bartley Peters (born October 9, 1943, St. Louis, Missouri), better known as Mike Peters, is an American cartoonist.
He draws the popular comic strip Mother Goose and Grimm, as well as syndicated editorial cartoons that appear in papers all over the United States. He won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning. His home paper is the Dayton Daily News in Dayton, Ohio.
As a joke, he once stood on the building ledge outside the Daily News building for thirty minutes wearing a Superman costume so that he could make an entrance to a meeting through the window in the manner of actor George Reeves entering Perry White's office on The Adventures of Superman.
Peters grew up in St. Louis, where he attended Christian Brothers College High School and Washington University. His late mother, actress/comedienne/singer Charlotte Peters, had a noontime live variety show on KSD-TV (now KSDK-TV) in St. Louis for many years in the 1950s and '60s.
