Don Wright (cartoonist)

Don Conway Wright (January 23, 1934 – March 24, 2024) was an American editorial cartoonist.

He had a job as a copyboy at the Miami News, from 1952 to 1956, which gave Wright his avid interest in cartoons.

Shortly after, Wright was drafted and served in the U.S. Army as a photographer, before returning to the Miami News as its graphics editor in 1958.

[3] While at The Miami News, Wright frequently played pranks on other reporters, particularly humorous columnist John Keasler.

When Wright would leave his office for lunch or the restroom, they would slip an extra key on the keyring.

As of 2012, Wright continued to draw editorial cartoons distributed by Tribune Media Services.
