Judges’ comments: In a field crowded with purse-lipped presidents and “clusters” of guns,
Matt Davies’ entry stood out for its out-of-the-box approach and putting politics in our homes:
Screen time, global warming, vaccines and school shootings were all set in the everyday. His
artistic style is smart and sophisticated. His cartoons leave you impressed, enraged and
included.
