"Well slap my ass and call me Sally, the Pulitzer Committee gave a ten thousand dollar prize to conservative cartoonist Michael Ramirez of Investor's Business Daily."

Good point! Michael Ramirez is also one of my favorite editorial cartoonists........IIRC he went to IBD from the LA Times in 2006 (the Times deemed him too conservative and dropped him from the staff).

Ramirez is highly accomplished and has earned many awards. He is an excellent draftsman, very creative in his thoughts and a prolific artist. A great example of success through hard work..........

In his own words......."An editorial cartoon is not just a funny picture," says Ramirez. "It is a powerful instrument of journalism, sometimes sharp and refined, its message cutting quickly to the point, and other times, blunt and overpowering, seizing the readers’ attention with its dark imagery."

Ramirez and Delonas both have a healthy humorous side, but, IMHO Delonas smiles more while he works........
