George Danby has spent more than five decades using his pen to inform, provoke and inspire. After publishing his first cartoon in the Bangor Daily News in 1975 as a Bangor High School student, he went on to draw for the Providence Journal-Bulletin and the New Haven Register before returning to the BDN in 1985.

For nearly 40 years, Danby’s daily cartoons have brought clarity, wit and humanity to the paper’s opinion pages. His work has appeared in The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time and USA Today. Known for his sharp insights and compassion, Danby has chronicled Maine’s political and social evolution with humor and heart, drawing nine presidents, seven governors, and countless other figures with equal parts satire and respect.
