Etta Hulme interviewed
Daryl Cagle has posted a short interview with Etta Hulme, the most widely syndicated female editorial cartoonist.
Says Cagle:
Etta is a charming, talented, grandmotherly character and her cartoons are just as warm and charming - in sharp contrast to the harsh, younger cartoonists.
Indeed. I enjoyed the video clip and hope the larger documentary is aired.

It is nice to see the cartoonist behind the cartoons, so I guess that’s the point. The interview didn’t really go anywhere … or is this just a portion of it?

The clip is from “Trailblazer: The Editorial Cartoons of Etta Hulme.” It was a documentary by E.K. Miller and it was screened in Lexington, KY during the AAEC convention.

Ah, that explains it! Thanks Charles!

Etta is one of the most under-appreciated cartoonists around.
Her work is great. She deserves a Pulitzer.

Doesn’t she have one?
March/11/2008 @ 2:48 pm
Nope. The only women cartoonists to ever win Pulitzer are Signe Wilkinson and Ann Telnaes.

I think Etta has been nominated for the Pulitzer, but I’m not absolutely certain about that.
I’ve known Etta for a couple of decades, and she’s one of my favorite human beings on the planet. The most wonderful person you’ll ever meet.

Just from this small glimpse she seems like a combination of Aunt Bee (sp) and catwoman. Is that even close?

More like Mrs. Butterworth meets exhumed Billy Martin.

I searched the Pulitzer Prize web site and, as unjust as it may be, Etta Hulme has not won a Pulitzer, nor has she ever been a nominated finalist.

“More like Mrs. Butterworth meets exhumed Billy Martin.”
LOL.
