Produktbeschreibung

"A strong editorial cartoon shines a blinding light on political buffoonery and social injustice. We have the most satisfying job in the world." --Walt Handelsman, Newsday An enticingly arranged anthology, this book presents the top editorial cartooning awards of the year. Featured awards include the Pulitzer Prize, National Headliner Award, Sigma Delta Chi Award, and Thomas Nast Award, amongst others. Brief biographies on each of the winners of these awards are included along with their winning entries. Highlighted are notable figures associated with the awards, such as Joseph Pulitzer, famous for his work in elevating the standards of the publishing industry, and Thomas Nast, who was considered by many to be the "Father of the American Political Cartoon." Nast is known for creating the illustration of the commonly accepted version of Uncle Sam and the Republican Party's Elephant. Editor Dean Turnbloom has cartooned all his life, but it was not until he retired from the navy that he began having his work published. Long an admirer of editorial cartooning, Turnbloom has had his cartoons published in newspapers large and small, including USA Today.
