Bob Artley

George Robert Artley (July 1, 1917 – October 21, 2011) was a professional illustrator, commercial artist, cartoonist, and writer. He was probably best known for his editorial cartoons which ran in the Des Moines Tribune, the Worthington, MN Daily Globe, and the Rochester, MN-based AgriNews and for his feature panel "Memories of a Former Kid", many of which still appear in publication. Artley also wrote or illustrated many books, most of which recount his memories of growing up on his parents' Northern Iowa farm during the first half of the 20th century.
