Paul Zanetti (born 8 September 1961) is a political cartoonist based in Australia.
He was the youngest paid political cartoonist on a major metropolitan newspaper in Australia. While still at school, he regularly contributed to The Sun newspaper in Sydney, from the age of 16 years.[citation needed]
In 1980, he joined The Sun art department in Sydney where he continued to contribute cartoons. Eight months later he accepted the full-time cartooning position on the Sydney Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph (Australia's largest circulating newspaper). This position had been vacated by Bill Mitchell, who had moved to The Australian, taking Larry Pickering's position.[citation needed]
At the age of 23 he won a Walkley Award for cartooning.[citation needed]
In 1990, Zanetti moved to the United States to study syndication.[citation needed] On his return, he pioneered political cartoon syndication in Australia, appearing in newspapers throughout Australia and internationally.[citation needed] In 1993, he co-founded Australian Newspaper Features (ANF) Pty Ltd, Australia's first content syndicator of features and columns by household Australian names, Ray Martin (What Does Ray Say?)[citation needed], John Laws (Lawsie), Rene Rivkin (Taking Stock), Angry Anderson (Getting Angry), Paul 'Fatty' Vautin (Life With Fatty) and John-Michael Howson from Los Angeles (Hollywood Hotline).[citation needed]
In the US, Zanetti's cartoons are syndicated through Cagle Cartoons.[citation needed]
