Paul Anderson is the son of 'Marmaduke' creator Brad Anderson. He was born in San Fernando, California, and received his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University and his graduate degree in management from Troy State University. Since an early age, Paul was already helping his father with his 'Marmaduke' cartoon, contributing gag ideas and assisting Brad’s work. After a 20-year career with the Air Force as a helicopter pilot and overseeing financial operations, Paul retired as a lieutenant colonel and resumed work with his father in 2003. Paul Anderson has since become a full-time Marmaduke creator. Paul lives and works in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
