Grant, a native of Los Angeles, began his newspaper career at 17 working for the Los Angeles Examiner. He also worked as a
cartoonist during his Army duty, and later for the Milwaukee Sentinel and San Francisco Call-Bulletin. He worked as an editorial
cartoonist for the Oakland Tribune from 1954 to 1986. He won many awards during his career and was honored with a 25-year
