L. D. Warren

Warren graduated from Camden High School in Camden, New Jersey, where his family eventually moved.

Warren worked at the New Jersey Courier Post, before joining the Philadelphia Record in 1927. At the Record, Warren drew feature, editorial and sports cartoons. In the 1930s, he also worked on a comic strip featuring Penny Penguin, a character for the Gulf Oil Corporation and contributed to Gulf Funny Weekly. After twenty years with the Philadelphia Record, Warren moved to the Cincinnati Enquirer in 1947. While working as the Enquirer's editorial cartoonist, Warren's work was also syndicated through the McNaught Syndicate (1951–1974). In 1973, Warren officially retired from the Cincinnati Enquirer, but continued to draw a weekly cartoon to the newspaper. He was also able to recommend his replacement, cartoonist Jim Borgman. His work was shown at Ohio State University.
