Baltimore Magazine has proclaimed Kevin Kallaugher aka KAL as the best in the area.

KAL tells us:

I was delighted to learn that the 50th Anniversary edition of Baltimore Magazine named me the region’s best cartoonist. I was particularly taken by the kind words that accompanied their announcement.

KAL gives us the Baltimore Magazine’s assessment of his talent which reads in part:

Simply put, his critiques of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, and especially those of the insatiable, power-hungry resident of the White House, are as sharp as any political writer knocking out columns today. Which makes his firing, after 31 years at The Sun, all the more unfathomable.
