Jay Norwood Darling (October 21, 1876 - February 12, 1962), better known as Ding Darling, was a Pulitzer-Prize winning American cartoonist.

Darling was born in Norwood, Michigan, where his parents, Marcellus and Clara, had recently moved so that Marcellus could begin work as a minister. In 1886, the family moved to Sioux City, Iowa. Darling began college at Yankton College in South Dakota in 1894, changing to Beloit College in Wisconsin the following year. There he became art editor of the yearbook and began signing his work as a contraction of his last name, D'ing, a nickname which stuck.

Editorial cartoons

In 1900, Ding became a reporter for the Sioux City Journal. Following his marriage to Genevieve Pendleton in 1906, he began work with the Des Moines Register and Leader. In 1911, he moved to New York and worked with the New York Globe but went back to Des Moines in 1913. Three years later, in 1916, he returned to New York and accepted a position with the New York Herald Tribune. By 1919, Darling returned a final time to Des Moines where he continued his illustrious career as a cartoonist, twice receiving the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. His cartoons were published from 1917 to 1949 in the New York Herald Tribune.

Wildlife Refuge

Although Darling is mostly known for his political and conservation cartoons, he was also an important figure in the conservation movement. He conceived the idea for the Federal Duck Stamp program and drew the first stamp design.[1] Despite his inexperience, he was appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as head of the U.S. Biological Survey, the forerunner of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island in Southwest Florida is named for him in addition to the Lake Darling State Park in Iowa that was dedicated on September 17, 1950.

He also founded the National Wildlife Federation in 1936, when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt convened the first North American Wildlife Conference.

Awards

Darling received the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 1924 his cartoon titled In Good Old USA and in 1943 for What a Place for a Waste Paper Salvage Campaign.
