Paul is a 24/7 infidel who worships daily at the Church-of-the-Painful-Truth. In other words, he is an angry white male who receives his marching orders from the incendiary voices of talk-radio. Paul’s achievements include shoplifting candy as a teen, six-months of delivering pizzas without being mugged, and finishing in the 5th percentile of his law-school graduating class. Like most conservatives, Paul embraces racism, sexism, bigotry, hate-speech, and homophobia, traits that would otherwise render him a pariah were it not for the patience, tolerance , and understanding of his ideological adversaries.

Paul Nowak – Illustrator: Thugs & Weasels, Useful Idiots, Election 2004

A freelance illustrator since 1991, Paul has been cartooning professionally since 1993, when he ran a marginally popular comic once a week in an English-language newspaper based in Tokyo. The bug had bitten. Since then, Paul has been cartooning constantly. His professional editorial cartoon debut took place in December 1999, a scant 18 years since he had been told by the San Francisco Examiner editorial cartoonist that Paul had little talent and should seek work elsewhere. Paul does work for CNSNews.com and for Scripps Howard News Service as well as RighToons.com. His conservative views are a nice change from the standard liberal fare available in most mainstream publications. Paul has been featured in magazines, newspapers, textbooks and books in three countries. His clients have included Sony, Honda, Las Vegas Life Magazine, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan Publishing, and a host of other firms too embarrassed to admit connection to him.
