Political Gumbo

A sharp-witted, wide-ranging collection from Walt Handelsman, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner for Editorial Cartooning. Walt Handelsman's nationally syndicated editorial cartoons have touched on international issues, nationwide events, and a few points of local interest to Louisiana, and this gallery of his work is both pointed and poignant. He has covered world dramas from Somalia to the Gulf War to Bosnia to Tiananmen Square with incredible depth in a single frame, and his humor shines through his commentary on presidential administrations and a seemingly unending supply of topics, like health care, race relations, tax reform, term limits, and, of course, campaigns. And his caricatures of Louisiana notables like Governor Edwin Edwards and the ever-controversial David Duke have made it to op-ed pages far beyond the state. This collection showcases the insightful comic sensibility and style that have earned him, in addition to his Pulitzers, two Headliner's Club Awards, a Society of Professional Journalist's Award, and a Scripps Howard National Journalism Award.
