Rex May - Libertarian

Find out YOUR political position ->

"Baloo" is the pen-name of Rex May, one of the most popular cartoonists in America. Rex's distinctive style is immediately recognizable. As a libertarian, one of his most consistent cartoon themes is, naturally enough, poking fun at idiotic and tyrannical government policies.

Rex's cartoons have appeared in some of the nation's largest and most influential publications, including National Review, The Wall Street Journal, Saturday Evening Post, The New Yorker, Playboy, Good Housekeeping, The Rush Limbaugh Letter, Liberty, and many, many more.

A longtime supporter of the Advocates for Self-Government, Rex has contributed cartoons and illustrations to Advocates products and publications. He was profiled in, and featured on the cover of, the Summer 1993 issue of The Liberator, magazine of the Advocates.

Rex started out as a writer. He wrote several articles for the National Lampoon in the early '70's. After writing cartoon gags for a while, he began drawing as well -- and developed the deceptively simple style that has charmed millions of readers.

Rex became a libertarian around 1980, after reading L. Neil Smith's libertarian science fiction epic The Probability Broach.
