Meet Chuck Asay
As he tells it, Chuck Asay was in the eighth grade when he decided to devote his life to editorial cartooning -- after discovering he could not add, spell, read or write -- but that he could draw. One of four children, Asay was born in Alamosa, Colo., in 1942. He grew up on a farm, served in the Army in Europe after high school and then went to Adams State College. After teaching school for a number of years in Aspen, Colo., and Taos, N.M., he and his family moved to Colorado Springs, Colo., where he landed his first job as an editorial cartoonist at the Colorado Springs Sun.
Asay is now the editorial cartoonist for the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph. He has won the "Best of the West" award for cartooning and is a two-time winner of the H.L. Mencken Award. A resident of Colorado Springs, Asay is one of the few quality conservative cartoonists working in the industry today.
