  1. Congrats to Barry Deutsch!

    It’d be nice to see this award recognize important female political cartoonists like Signe Wilkinson, Etta Hulme, Stephanie McMillan, Jen Sorensen and Mikhaela Reid, though.

  2. Ted, I think it’s great that you’ve used all those women in your position as editor of the Beast! (except I think Ms. Hulme hasn’t done cartoons for a few months.) And I imagine they’re in your edited books, too! Good for them!
