Phil Whitte

Phil Witte sold his first cartoon at age 15 but he didn't sell another one until age 45. In the interim he became a lawyer, married, and raised a daughter in Piedmont, CA. Witte began writing with two successful joke books about getting older, illustrated by Steve Mark. He also began writing gags for other cartoonists including Dan Piraro. After taking an art course, Witte began drawing his own stuff. His single-panel cartoons now appear in Barron's, The Wall Street Journal, and the British satirical mag Private Eye, among others. His work also appears in The Monthly, and his cartoon strip Flip is in the Piedmont Post. He appeared as the Cartoonist-in-Residence at the Cartoon Art Museum on September 12, 2009.
