The Tulsa World has hired Doug Marlette to take the place of David Simpson as the staff editorial cartoonist.

The Tulsa (Okla.) World has hired Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Doug Marlette, effective Feb. 12.

Marlette, who’s syndicated by Tribune Media Services (TMS), had been working out of North Carolina for the Tallahassee Democrat since the Florida paper hired him in 2002. He reportedly will remain in North Carolina after Feb. 12, but will do state and local cartoons for the World in addition to national and international ones.
