Introducing Our Friend Cliff Cramp, Illustrator

  The world of tribbledom includes interesting people from across the nation and around the world. Every tribble is a conservative, most are people of faith, and many are exceedingly gifted: Cliff Cramp just happens to be all three! Cliff joined the group of Hugh Hewitt Radio Show aficionados (who would subsequently be known as “the tribbles”) in 2008.

We quickly discovered that Cliff was an illustrator, an extremely good illustrator. A little more from...
