Congrats to Dan Perkins for being named one of this year's Pulitzer finalists for Editorial Cartooning.
Dan's syndicated cartoon, "This Modern World by Tom Tomorrow," is a longtime favorite of CL readers and a welcome antidote to political nonsense of all stripes. He won the Pulitzer recognition for cartoons that run in the Daily Kos, many of which also run in CL. The winner of this year's top prize in editorial cartooning was Adam Zyglis of the Buffalo News.
The Pulitzer committee commended Perkins "for cartoons that create an alternate universe — an America frozen in time whose chorus of conventional wisdom is at odds with current reality."
Can't wait to see if he does a cartoon about that.
