Handel-ing the Pulitzer
The 2007 Pulitzer Prizes have been awarded and, along with everyone else in comics-land, ComicMix would like to congratulate Walt Handelsman on his award for Editorial Cartooning. Handelsman plies his trade for Newsday, one of the better NYC-area newspapers and the one I used to read back when I was a subway commuter.
The other finalists in this area also nominated as finalists in this category were Nick Anderson of The Houston Chronicle for his pungent cartoons on an array of issues, and for his bold use of animation, and Mike Thompson of the Detroit Free Press for his compelling cartoons that rely on rich detail and deft caricature to make their point and for using animation to widen his impact."
