A Victory

About John Sherffius (from The Association of Editorial Cartoonists) I was honored with the Scripps Howard National Journalism Award for cartoons drawn in 2001. And I won the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for my coverage of issues affecting the poor in 2003. I resigned from the Post-Dispatch in December, 2003. It was a tough decision, because I was proud of the forceful work I had done there. But the new editor had a different vision of the role of an editorial cartoonist, and I felt my work was no longer a good fit. I love this profession with a passion, however, and have continued producing five cartoons a week for a handful of clients, including the Kansas City Star, the Ventura County Star, the Illinois Times and the American Prospect's website. Visit the arttalksback.com Amazon webstore to get your own free standing canvas wrapped print of the "A Victory" cartoon. Three sizes are available for purchase (5", 7.75" and 15")
