- Paul Conrad, along with his identical twin James, was born in Cedar Rapids in 1924, son of a railroad worker and amateur artist. After serving with the US Army Corps of Engineers in the Pacific theatre during World War II Conrad attended the University of Iowa where he majored in art and drew cartoons for the college paper the Daily Iowan.
After graduating with a B.A. in Art in 1950, Conrad joined the staff of the Denver Post where he worked for 14 years before decamping for Los Angeles where he joined the staff of the Los Angeles Times where he was the chief editorial cartoonist from 1964 to 1993. During his tenure as a political cartoonist, Conrad won three Pulitzer Prizes (1964, 1971 and 1984). His work angered every President from Truman to George W. Bush. One of the highlights of career was appearing on the infamous Nixon's Enemies List where he kept company with the likes of Paul Newman and CBS's Daniel Schorr. Upon Nixon's resignation, Conrad drew a cartoon that depicted Nixon's helicopter leaving the White House. The caption read "One flew over the cuckoo's nest."
