Clay Bennett Appreciation Thread

[LunaSea]

The daily postings of political cartoons here at DU quite often include the work of an exceptional
cartoonist, Clay Bennett.



It's easy to see why Bennett has won nearly every award his profession has to offer-
- The Pulitzer Prize (2002)
- John Fischetti Award (2001, 2005)
- National Headliner Award (1999, 2000, 2004)
- Sigma Delta Chi Award (2001)
- National Cartoonists Society Award (2002)
- National Journalism Award (2002)
- Overseas Press Club Award (2005, 2007)
- Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award (2007)
- Green Eyeshade Award (1984, 1994)
- H. L. Mencken Award (1986)
- Editor & Publisher magazine 'Editorial Cartoonist of the Year' (2001)

His ability to marry thoughtful concept with excellent illustration make his work stand out in any collection of editorial imagery.
