# Who's Who in Judge: Don Herold This page profiles cartoonist and writer Don Herold for Judge magazine's "Who's Who" feature. The photograph shows Herold at his desk, wearing glasses and formal attire. The biographical text explains Herold's background (born in Bloomfield, Indiana; Indiana University graduate; studied at Chicago Art Institute) and humorously notes his ambidexterity: an efficiency expert told him his idle left hand was wasteful, so he began writing while drawing with his right hand simultaneously. This earned him the nickname "Two gun Don from Bronxville." The small cartoon below illustrates this dual-handed technique humorously, depicting a figure juggling multiple artistic tasks at once—the central joke being Herold's unusual productivity method that made him notable among Judge's contributors.
