10 awesome cartoons from Tom Tomorrow's Pulitzer Finalist portfolio | Fusion
by Jen Sorensen
The Pulitzers were announced last week, with Adam Zyglis of The Buffalo News taking the prize for editorial cartooning. But something unusual happened with this year’s finalists: a non-traditional cartoonist, Tom Tomorrow, was recognized, with the Washington Post calling him “the Prize’s biggest outlier since [Jules] Feiffer in the ’80s.” (Kevin “KAL” Kallaugher of The Economist and The Baltimore Sun was the other finalist.)
It’s extremely rare that a self-syndicated cartoonist — particularly one whose multi-panel work appears in alternative newspapers rather than mainstream dailies — gets any Pulitzer props. “The Pulitzers are the most tradition-bound of the big journalism prizes, so I think it was pretty remarkable that an alt-comics person submitting through an online site even made the shortlist,” Tomorrow told Fusion. “Even if I didn’t quite manage to grab the brass ring, it was still more than I ever expected to happen.”
