AAEC - Cartoonist Profile

Gary Thomas

SInce graduating with a degree in Economics from Northern Illinois, I have worked primarily in financial services for the past 10 years. I started working on editorial cartoons during my daily train ride to a job located in Chicago. I have been hooked on editorial cartoons since, I have also worked on other creative works, such as oil paintings, murals, and a comedy act. 

I don't consider myself to be a Democrat of Republican, but I have become more of Democrat during GW Bush's reign. In the 80's some moderates and independent voters who voted for Reagan were called Reagan Democrats. Bush had the opposite effect on me, I am an independent voter who votes against Bush, so I am Bush Democrat for now.
