The Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning[1] is one of the fourteen Pulitzer Prizes that is annually awarded for journalism in the United States.
History
It has been awarded since 1922 for a distinguished editorial cartoon or portfolio of cartoons published during the year, characterized by originality, editorial effectiveness, quality of drawing, and pictorial effect.
Since 1980, finalists (usually two) have been announced in addition to the winner.[2]
Only two comic strips have been awarded the prize: Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau in 1976 and Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed in 1987.[3][4]
No winner was selected in 2021, which drew controversy. In 2022, the prize was superseded by the revamped category of Illustrated Reporting and Commentary.[5][6][7]
