Rigby, Paul (1924 - 2006)
Born in Melbourne, Rigby served in the Royal Australian Air Force during the Second World War. Rigby's work as a political cartoonist started at the Perth Daily News in 1952. Rigby worked briefly at the Sydney Daily Mirror from 1969. Rupert Murdoch had just purchased the English tabloid The Sun and in the same year Rigby relocated to London to work on Murdoch's new acquisition. Rigby also contributed work to the News of the World. Rigby returned to Australia in 1974 to work at the Sydney Daily Telegraph and then moved to the United States to work at another new Murdoch acquisition, the New York Post, also contributing to the Star.
