Simple, clear, local, humorous - all the things a good local cartoonist should be.
Easy to understand, clear message and folk drawings that everyone can relate to. Well done.
Elmira-Woolwich Observer Scott Arnold
Clear, relevant, and thought provoking. The readers are well served by this cartoonist. How lucky and great to have someone exclusive to your paper.
HONOURABLE MENTION Hamilton Mountain News | Mike Vukovich – The cartoons frustrated and even angered me, as they should. They are well drawn and relevant.
GENERAL COMMENT Cartoonists are so important, especially this year when the world is topsy-turvy. It was inspiring to see the range of talent in these submissions. It was truly hard to pick the winners. Here’s hoping our community papers continue to have political cartoonists as they can say things that often no one else can while bringing a much needed smile to the faces of our readers.
