Although it's a very new award, and I really can't judge its import, it's interesting to note that Creators has three of the finalists in the second annual Opinion Awards' editorial cartoonist category. I didn't even know Luckovich was with Creators, so I think that might be new. Copley News Service has another, which makes Tom Toles of Universal the only cartoonist with one of the more traditionals given the nod. The nominees:
Chip Bok of the Akron Beacon Journal (Creators) Steve Kelley of The Times-Picayune (Creators) Mike Luckovich of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Creators) Gary Markstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Copley News Service) Tom Toles of The Washington Post (Universal Press Syndicate)
Cartoon from Steve Kelley, the cartoonist on this list with whom I'm the least famliar.
