# Who's Who in Judge: Donald McKee This is a biographical profile rather than a political cartoon. It introduces **Donald McKee**, a humor cartoonist and illustrator for *Judge* magazine. According to the text, McKee was born in Indianapolis, moved to San Francisco (where an earthquake prompted his relocation), and had been working in New York for ten years creating "side-splitters" for the humorous weekly. The profile notes he produces so many comic ideas that other artists draw some of the jokes credited to him, and attributes his prolific output to having a large family. The photograph shows McKee at a drafting desk, working on illustrations—a standard professional portrait for such features in early-20th-century magazines.

In fact, he has so many on tap he hasn’t time to draw them all himself, and many of the “laughs” in these pages by other artists ate his. Don was born in Indianapolis; moved to San Francisco and studied there until the earthquake shook him out. He decided to come to New York and for the past ten years has been turning out side-splitters for the humorous weeklies. He has a large family, which is probably the reason for his rich fund of ideas! that (im Juoce & proteted eo: & Company, loc. New York: 25 Vanderbilt Avenue.
