Knoxville's Own Cartoonist

Charlie Daniel was born in Richmond, VA and later went on to become a private in the Marine Corps and studied political science at The University of North Carolina. It is here where he began drawing cartoons for the local school newspaper. He came to Knoxville in 1958 as the main cartoonist for the Knoxville Journal and moved to the Knoxville News Sentinel in 1992. He is a graduate of Leadership Knoxville and is actively engaged in the community through various non profits and other volunteer organizations. Four large collections of his work have been published, and at Hodges Library, much of his work is on display for students to admire.
