  1. When I was the University of Tennessee’s student newspaper’s editorial cartoonist, I went up to Charlie’s office to meet him. I had an assignment for a speech class and I had to interview him. Long story short, but he allowed me to fill in for him when he went on vacation, told me about the AAEC and has, for the last 20 years, given me a great role model of how to give back to a community you draw in. He’s a good cartoonist, but he’s a better man. Fifty years. Amazing.

  2. Charlie’s good people.

    Hard to believe he started cartooning in K-ville the year I was born … and I’m OLD, man.

    Happy anniversary!

  3. WOW…I MADE ‘THE DAILY CARTOONIST’…THANKS AND THANKS TO YOUNG MARSHALL RAMSEYAND OL’MAN JOHN COLE….

  4. I have never met Mr. Daniel, but I have always loved his insight to life and his ability to create a cartoon to reflect that insight. I know envy is a sin, but I wish I could have had at least half of his talent!
