Charlie Podrebarac was born in Kansas City, Kansas, where he began his cartooning career drawing nuns in grade school. (He later learned to use color.) Although his parents wanted him to become a dentist, he studied advertising journalism at the University of Kansas so that he could pursue his dream of cartooning. After college, he began work as art director for a local magazine which published his first cartoons. Poderbarac then created a humor panel called "Cowtown," for the Kansas City Star (1984 to present). In between, he's produced hundreds of greeting cards for companies including Hallmark, Current, Paramount, and Gibson Greetings. His cartoons have been published in magazines such as Business Law Today, Playboy, and Veterenary Medicine, and he produces advertising art for clients including Sprint, Book of the Month Club, Mastercard and Maggiemoo's Ice Cream. His first comic strip, "Smart Alex," was syndicated by The Washington Post Writers Group from 1995 to 1996. When not drawing in his knotty pine studio, Podrebarac lives the good life with his wife, Alicia, in Westwood, Kansas.
