Earl W. Engleman (Sr.)
February 25, 1927 - September 27, 2012

The above obituary only states
Engleman "was a practicing Cartoonist".
Engleman was a practicing cartoonist
since, at least, the early 1970s.

The Lewis Wayne Gallery has a bit more:
EARL ENGLEMAN (b. ?) began his career in an advertising agency; his
cartoons, which feature the humorous side of everyday life, have
appeared in a number of magazines and newspapers, including Good
Housekeeping, Saturday Evening Post, Better Homes & Gardens, The Wall
St. Journal, The National Enquirer and USA Weekend (one of his
creations was "Cartoon of the Week" on December 26, 1999). Engleman
has also been published through King Features, the McNaught Syndicate
and Singer Media Corp., and he has been featured in one-man shows in
Tampa, Florida (1985) and group shows in Canada (1986-1989).

Other than the above named "reputable" magazines
he also contributed risque cartoons to such publications
as Sex to Sexty and various Humorama publications;
as well as 150 Cartoons, Good Humor, Cartoon Carnival
and other Charlton Publications cartoon magazines.

Some of his cartoons (including a risgue one or two) are at
http://www.comicstripfan.com/otherart/englemanearl.htm
to give those interested a look at his cartooning style.

A 2009 newspaper article about the difficulties facing
cartoonists included a bit about Earl Engleman:
All my cartoonist friends are having trouble," said [Rob] Smith.
With one notable exception.
Earl Engleman has been a gag cartoonist for 40 years and is still
extremely successful. Though semi-retired, he continues to sell
cartoons appearing in publications including "The Wall Street
Journal," "Woman's World" and "The Saturday Evening Post," to name a
few.
Engleman claims his success hasn't been easy. "It took a lot of blood,
tears and sweat," he said.
