Bob Artley
George Robert (Bob) 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'',〔http://www.dglobe.com/〕 and the Rochester, MN-based ''AgriNews''〔http://www.agrinews.com/〕 and for his feature panel ''"Memories of a Former Kid"'', many of which still appear in publication.〔http://www.sietsemavogelfuneralhomes.com/obituary/73653/G-Artley-of-Akron-Ohio/〕 Artley also wrote or illustrated many books, most of which recount his memories of growing up on his parent's Northern Iowa farm during the first half of the 20th Century.
== Early life ==
Artley, the first born of George Denison Artley and Elsie Louise (Crow) Artley, was born on the family farm (established by his grandfather in 1877)〔http://www.pelicanpub.com/proddetail.php?prod=9781589801509〕 five miles west of Hampton and three miles east of Latimer, IA. Artley attended grade school at a country school within a two-mile walking distance of his parent's farm and after passing his eighth grade exams, went on to Hampton High School where he graduated in 1935. While growing up, Artley took an interest in drawing and art, an interest which was nurtured by friends and family. During High School, Artley started focusing on editorial cartooning, partly at the behest of Miss Dunn, Artley's English teacher, and was featured at the high school and in local stores and publications. This exposure led to his being mentored by Artley's idol, the ''Des Moines Tribune's'' J.N. "Ding" Darling, who critiqued his work, supplied him with drawing supplies, and suggested he start drawing from life about subjects close to him – thus Artley's lifelong stock in trade of drawing scenes from the farm. Although he drew all the livestock and animals on the farm, many of his first subjects were the pigs since their pen was most available and many of his earliest sketches can be seen in his 2003 book ''Living With Pigs''. His love for drawing was matched with his love for farm life:
After high school, he attended Grinnell College while helping his father on the farm. In the fall of 1941, just before starting what would be his senior year at Grinnell, Artley volunteered for the U.S. Army. After first being assigned to the Army Corps of Engineers, he was later transferred to the Medical Corps where he was a Medic and then a Laboratory Technician drawing slides.〔http://www.postbulletin.com/news/stories/display.php?id=1473594〕 Although his wartime service was all stateside, he was being trained to be part of the U.S. force for the Operation Downfall invasion of the Japanese Homelands when the atomic bombs ended the war. While in the Army in 1943, he met and married fellow lab technician and Women's Army Auxiliary Corps enlistee Virginia E. (Ginny) Moore, of South Fork, PA while they were both stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. Artley returned to civilian life in 1946 where he continued farming with his father. In 1950, he returned to college on the G.I. Bill of Rights, attending the University of Iowa, and completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1951.
