Paul B. Lowney

Paul Benjamin Lowney (March 25, 1917 – May 12, 2007) was a Seattle-based author and humorist. He wrote 29 books and three comic strips, most mixing humor, philosophy, and whimsical illustrations by his frequent collaborator Frank Renlie. Saturday Review described his work by saying, "Sometimes Lowney makes you think and then laugh; and sometimes he makes you laugh and then think."
He also authored non-fiction works on Seattle and his experiences growing up in Butte during the 1930s.
