Recenzii
“For more than a generation, like a Greek chorus on the stage of Arkansas politics, George Fisher has periodically frozen the action to tell us what was going on. Some might have been more comfortable if he had chosen another career, but all of us would have been deprived of insight and humor we’ve sorely needed. George Fisher is one of Arkansas’ irreplaceable treasures.”
—Bill Clinton
—Bill Clinton
“George fisher is without peer in the world of political cartoonist. . . .All Arkansas owe George a debt of gratitude for his unique and brilliant characterizations of life and politics.”

Notă biografică
George Fisher began life in Searcy, Arkansas, and grew up at Beebe. He earned two Bronze Stars while serving in the European Theater of Operations during World War II and returned to Beebe with a young English wife, Rosemary Beryl Snook, whose nickname, “Snooky,” appeared hidden in all his cartoons published after 1976.
In 1946 Fisher became staff cartoonist for the West Memphis News. Three years later he moved to Little Rock and eventually established Fisher Art Service, a commercial graphics firm. In the early 1960s he arranged to do one cartoon a week for the North Little Rock Times. The Arkansas Gazette picked up the cartoons and in 1972 contracted for two cartoons each week. He was the Gazette’s chief editorial cartoonist from 1976 until the paper’s demise in 1991.
