Father & the Facts of Life. Anita is the daughter of the cartoonist Bud Counihan, a legendary figure among New York artists and newsmen. A handsome, impulsive, lace-curtain Irishman, he had an indefatigable affability, a great love of good fellowship and good liquor.

His saturnine "Up Front with Mauldin" is now syndicated to over 100 U.S. civilian newspapers...
...below-the-belt copy, or minded too much the family slight in the cartoon on Cousin "Bertie." Best guess was that astute Captain Patterson wanted no side music to distract attention from the blaring, anti-New Deal tune played daily by his accomplished trio of Editorial Writer Reuben Maury, Cartoonist C. D. Batchelor and Columnist John O'Donnell...
