Sometimes controversial, Fitzpatrick and several other Post Dispatch staff members were cited with contempt of court and served sentences when they criticized the dismissal of an extortion suit against a State Representative. Fitzpatrick's cartoons have been exhibited at the St. Louis Art Museum, the Moscow Museum of Modern Western Painting, and the New York City's Associated American Artists Gallery.
