Phil Fountain
Phil Fountain is a pseudonym for ANC’s prodigal cartoonist, Philbert Phountain, who has recently returned from a working hiatus where he served as the lead fact-checker for George Santos.
He lives in Shasta County with his long-suffering wife, Christine, as well as a variety of layabouts and urchins who claim to be his progeny … including three grandchildren.
He busies himself with his crayons and obsessing over the fate of his favorite baseball team while a small dog sleeps under his desk. He’s actually not such a bad guy as evidenced by the fact the dog rarely bites him anymore.
Look for his crudely rendered drawings in future posts on A News Café.
Phil Fountain is a cartoonist, writer and occasional bed-wetter based in the far reaches of Northern Californey. This week, he was inspired to dig out his crayons at the sight of Redding Mayor Patrick Jones — arriving by boat and wearing George Washington’s clothes — at Thursday’s Redding Tea Party Patriots demonstration.
