Reg Manning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reginald W. Manning (1905-1986), better known as Reg Manning, was an American artist and illustrator, best known for his editorial cartoons.
He was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and during his childhood came to live in Phoenix, Arizona. Several of his books deal with Arizona and its cacti in particular, such as What Kinda Cactus Izzat? (also known as The Cactus Book), and What is Arizona Really Like?: A Guide to Arizona's Marvels. Manning often used a small anthropomorphic cactus with a big nose as a visual signature. In 1951, Manning won a Pulitzer Prize for an editorial cartoon entitled "Hats", which was a commentary on the Korean War. Manning died in 1986.
