Terry Wise
A Kentucky native, near Hodgenville, Terry now resides in historic Glendale (home of the world-famous Whistle Stop restaurant).
Terry says, "I never thought about being a cartoonist. I wanted to be a 'serious' illustrator and worked toward that goal for many years. What I found is that good illustrators are about 3 cents a dozen and there was no money to be made, so (mostly by accident) I pursued cartooning as a career."
Terry's work has been popular aournd KY for over 22 years and is published in over 20 KY papers.
"Having been self syndicated the last sevearl years, I cater more to smaller market rural papers (those are the folks I best relate to)", Wise goes on. "However, my work makes its way into some larger papers, text books, Army publications, and a lot of web work. You'll see a lot of my work in Europe through Cartoonstock.com. Other than all that, I pretend to farm a little, fish, cartoon greeting cards and the like, and run a cartoon series titled The Digital Recruiter for the U.S. Army."
Wise says he doesn't consider himslef a pure conservative, "but I do consider myself a mourner in the demise of common sense, and political correctness makes me barf. If that shifts my cartoons to the right, then that’s where I am."
