| HUMOR’S EDGE: Cartoons by Ann Telnaes
Welcome to the third millennium, as seen through the eyes of Ann Telnaes, the second woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning. Her witty, bold, and visually striking cartoons appeal to millions of newspaper and online readers across the country and around the world. Telnaes’ work exemplifies the finest tradition of the "ungentlemanly" art of editorial cartooning-she comments with a critical, humorous, and fearless honesty on current events as varied as the 2000 presidential election, terrorist attacks and war, and threats to freedom of expression, civil liberties, and international women’s rights. Wether dissenting or affirming, exposing hypocrisy or celebrating human resilience, Telnaes brings a refreshing and original spirit to the art of cartooning and sheds a distinctive light on the contemporary issues. Ann Telnaes began publishing cartoons in 1992 and is nationally syndicated. Her work has appeared in such newspapers as The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Austin American-Statesman, The Chicago Tribune, and the St. Louis Post Dispatch; is also on the Internet, and she contributes to the comic strip Six Chix. In 2001 she won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning, and in 2003 she received the Berryman Award from the National Press Foundation. Cartoons by Ann Telnaes Available From: The
