Editorial Cartoons of Brian Duffy
Duffy, Brian, 1955-
1983/2008
Des Moines Register
For over a hundred years, the front page of the Des Moines Register featured a daily editorial cartoon, establishing a tradition of political commentary in Iowa. In 1906, the Register hired Jay N. “Ding” Darling, who drew for the newspaper until his retirement in 1949. Darling was temporarily succeeded by his long-time assistant, Harold I. “Tom” Carlisle, who occasionally produced cartoons in Darling’s absence and after his retirement. In 1953, the Register hired Frank Miller to continue producing editorial cartoons. Miller remained with the newspaper until his death in 1983, when Brian Duffy became the full-time staff cartoonist. Duffy drew for the Register until 2008, when his position was abruptly terminated during budget cutbacks. Together, Darling, Carlisle, Miller, and Duffy produced a century of cartoon commentary and their drawings provide a unique view into the past.
