About Me
- Roy Delgado
- Petersburg, WV, United States
- After graduating from Tucson High School in 1953 I attended the Billy Hon School of Cartooning in Los Angeles. I then joined the U.S. Marines for four years, and ended up in Washington, D.C.. After getting honourably discharged, I enrolled at the Corcoran School of Art where I studied figure drawing. In 1976 I founded and was CEO of a 34 man sign company specializing in Trade Show Decorations, Exhibits and Signage for the largest 100 Associations in the U.S. We later expanded and added an electrical sign division where we designed and manufactured electrical signs for many Fortune 500 companies. The company was sold in 2oo2. I now draw cartoons passionately full-time from my mountain-top home and studio in wild & wonderful West Virginia. My cartoons have appeared regularly in the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Harvard Business Review, Reader's Digest, etc. and recently Playboy magazine where Mr. Hefner just purchased 15 colour cartoons in May and June of 2007.

This was a favorite quote of Admiral Robert E. Peary, who claimed he was first to the North Pole in 1909. Eight years later, when the NY Times reported that the claims may have been falsified, the joke went (at least in my little group of polar aficionados) that his saying was now, "Find a way, or fake one."
Good point, Mike . . I love little known facts. Here's a little known fact . . When The Lone Ranger was about to begin his career and the word got around, of course several people wanted to be his side-kick . . anyway The Lone Ranger narrowed his side-kick selection to two guys: one was an indian friend and the other was a black guy he knew . . The story goes that The Lone Ranger flipped a coin in the air and said: " Okay, it's agreed . . Heads, Tonto becomes my faithful companion . . Tails, Leroy gets the job ! "
This will probably get a comment from Al Sharpton of The National Action Network, but I like Al . . I'm ready.
