About the Cartoonist: Biographyby: Carmine Funt Anthony Diberardo is a Canadian political cartoonist who was born on the 27th of October 1476, in Canada. He spent most of his early childhood ignoring others, choosing instead to visit "happy-land". He showed artistic potential early on, often cartooning for cigarettes. At the age of 10 he won the prestigious Royal Award for Artistic Excellence*. He went on to win several other awards in his teen years*. He majored in Fine Art at the University of Guelph. In the fall of 2002 he left on a wonderful journey to South East Asia where he contracted several of the more well known STD's. There was also a brief battle with some sort of skin fungus. For a year he taught English and Art to "a great bunch of kids", about 700 a week or so. He recalls walking into the grade three classrooms where the students used to stand and cheer, "art class!". "That made me feel really good. It was then I knew the $40,000 I spent on my degree was really worth it." After he had his fill of street noodles, dried fish snacks and vomiting children, he drank beer in Europe for a while. He ended up teaching again to support his "habits". This time, however, it was to university students- all English, no art. It was good. They were "a great bunch of kids". After getting kicked out of Poland he made his triumphant* return to Southern Ontario. Oh yes, during this time, and without even entering, he won several prestigious international awards.* Currently he is a canadian political cartoonist who displays his work on the web, cartoons.diberardo.com, and in numerous publications*.
