Jim Morin Wins 2007 Herblock

The Herb Block Foundation announced Friday that Jim Morin, editorial cartoonist of the Miami Herald, has won this year's Herblock Prize. The prize, given to an editorial cartoonist every year, comes with a $10,000 cash award. Morin will be given the award on April 4 at the Library of Congress. Morin was the 1996 Pulitzer Prize winner, and is one of the great under-appreciated newspaper cartoonists of the last quarter century. He is coming up on his third decade at the Herald. The Herb Block Foundation is in itself one of the better stories that is cartoonist-related; it began after the longtime cartoonist for which it is named died in 2001 leaving behind a massive fortune accrued over a long and distinguished career.
