Jay Norwood Darling (October 21, 1876 - February 12, 1962), better known as Ding Darling, was a Pulitzer-Prize winning American cartoonist.
Darling was born in Norwood, Michigan, where his parents, Marcellus and Clara, had recently moved so that Marcellus could begin work as a minister. In 1886, the family moved to Sioux City, Iowa. Darling began college at Yankton College in South Dakota in 1894, changing to Beloit College in Wisconsin the following year. There he became art editor of the yearbook and began signing his work with a contraction of his last name, D'ing, a nickname which stuck.
