Biography
|
Ted Rall (born 1963 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) is a left-wing columnist and editorial cartoonist. Unlike many editorial cartoonists, his political cartoons often appear in a traditional comic-strip format.
He attended Columbia University, where he contributed cartoons to the campus newspapers, and graduated in 1991 with a bachelor of arts with honors in history. Rall says meeting Keith Haring in 1986 inspired him to pursue cartooning.
Style Rall is one of a new breed of editorial cartoonists who began in the alternative weeklies during the 1980s and early 1990s with wordy, abstractly drawn strips about politics and social issues. Syndicated since 1991, he enjoyed success in mainstream newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post with his merciless attacks and unorthodox politics. He was, for example, one of the few liberal cartoonists to call for Bill Clinton's impeachment for lying under oath.
