Go, Read: Michael Cavna Handicaps The Cartooning Pulitzer

The Pulitzer Prize winners (along with the nominations) come out on Monday, and Michael Cavna of the Washington Post is taking this occasion to look at the editorial cartooning field and see what's likely in terms of the names the Pulitzer folks will put out there. On the positive side in terms of providing an accurate prognosis, Cavna casts his net pretty wide; on the negative side, I don't recall the Pulitzer being a prize that really corresponds to any sort of predictable conventional wisdom. Still, lists like these are fun because it helps organize thoughts about the year in cartooning just past. I think Cavna may be on to one thing, that the Prize may fall to a cartoonist with something extra to offer in terms of the standard cartoon presentation, like Gary Varvel with his community feature or Ted Rall & Matt Bors with the work they did on their Afghanistan trip.
