For POLITICO’s 15th anniversary, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Matt Wuerker picks his favorite sketches of the past decade-and-a-half chronicling American politics.
Like those old Herblock and Mauldin and Conrad books Matt selects and annotates the cartoons
– he also provides an introduction profiling his career at Politico.
Over these past 15 years, POLITICO has done its best to keep up with all the disruption and tumult. Throughout, I’ve been lucky to find myself with a front-row seat — well, actually a back-corner-of-the-newsroom seat — to try my best to capture and comment on all the changes and characters, from Sarah Palin and Bernie Sanders to Barack Obama and The Donald.
A look at the past 15 years in 24 Matt Wuerker cartoons.
