Cartoonist Wins Preemptive Pulitzer
By Rob Tornoe | October 14th, 2009 | PERMALINK
People world-wide were shocked by the news of President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize for what amounts to an incomplete record at best.
Cartoonists from around the world jumped on the news and quickly put pen to paper, weighing in with their thoughts almost instantly (view a collection of some of the best Obama Nobel Prize cartoons here).
Syndicated cartoonist Matt Bors took possibly the most original approach, and used his latest cartoon to announce he has officially won this year’s coveted Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning.
Lampooned within his cartoon are cartoonists Ted Rall, Jack Ohman of the Oregonian, Matt Davies of the Journal-News and Joel Pett of the Lexington Herald-Leader.
