In 1978 Kallaugher became the first resident cartoonist in the then 135-year history of The Economist.[1][2] He spent the following 10 years in London working for such publications as The Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, Today and The Mail on Sunday.[1][2]
Kallaugher returned to the U.S. in 1988, becoming the editorial cartoonist for The Baltimore Sun.[1][2] Over the course of his 17 years at the newspaper up to 2006, he drew more than 4000 cartoons for The Sun while also drawing two cartoons per week for The Economist.[2] He left The Sun in 2006, but returned in 2012.[1][2]
