The Unwokening Waste, Fraud and Abuse Pity the Billionaires A Modest Income A Pulitzer Prize finalist in the cartoonist category, Pat Bagley has worked for The Salt Lake Tribune for more than 45 years. He is one of roughly a dozen cartoonists still working at a major metropolitan newspaper in the U.S. Bagley started working for The Tribune shortly after graduation and has published more than 6,000 cartoons for the now-nonprofit newsroom. His cartoons have appeared in The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times. He is syndicated and appears in more than 450 American newspapers. Pat was born in Utah and grew up in Oceanside, California, where his father was the mayor and his mother a schoolteacher. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he served a mission in Bolivia in the 1970s. In 1978, he received his degree in political science from Brigham Young University. In 2009, following statements by LDS apostle Dallin Oaks about gay marriage protesters and religious freedom, Bagley commented that he was retired from the church, though not bitter.
