   Hey! Fantastic and well-deserved!

   Congrats to Darrin! Well deserved!

   I noticed that Bell, Bolling, and Rogers are all freelancers. Is this the first time that none of the Pulitzer finalists for editorial cartoons were newspaper staff cartoonists?

   MC,
   as another authority on the history of cartooning can you name another conservative Pulitzer winning cartoonist other than Ramirez (not exactly a controversial figure) since 1955?

   Congratulations to Darren Bell. -ML

   Nobel and Pulitzer are both far left of Bernie Sanders

   The silence is deafening but by any fair judgement the Pulitzer is a fixed prize for liberals only. My conservative crowd and I don’t cry but it’s just the tone of the media in our country. It’s not illegal to be conservative -yet.

   Another cartoonist (left) who worked on staff w/ a Pulitzer judge told him he praised Ramirez one of the years he won on his “use of parallel lines”. That’s called “GRAPHIX PAPER” -you can’t buy Graphix paper anymore. No disrespect to the very talented Mr. Ramirez. He’s a talent. But I doubt he’s aware of that insult.

   There is no point in entering political contests anymore if your perspective is from the right meaning the whole exercise is propaganda.

   One possible explanation for the silence, Mike, is that you addressed your question to someone who doesn’t appear to be present. I don’t know who “MC” is.

   Meanwhile, the posting includes a listing of all recipients, including some right-of-center cartoonists.

   Apologies. Should have read: MP.

   Well, answer’s the same — check the link and you’ll see who won even before 1955 but also since.

   Thank you, Mike. And unless I’m mistaken, Steve Breen’s conservative, and so was Jeff Macnelly.
