John Sherffius Wins 2008 Herblock Prize



John Sherffius, the editorial cartoonist for the Boulder Daily Camera has won the 2008 Herblock Prize for Editorial Cartooning. The prize is given out by the Herblock Foundation to honor "distinguished examples of original editorial cartooning that exemplify the courageous independent standard set by the late Washington Post cartoonist." It was founded in 2003.

The winner receives a $10,000 tax-free prize, and will be honored at a March 18 ceremony at the Library of Congress that includes the yearly Herblock Lecture, this year to be given by Tim Russert. The prize was created in 2003. The write-up at the Foundation's web site indicates that Sherffius' cartoons commenting on President Bush were highlighted in his package.

Sherffius has been at the Daily Camera since leaving the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 2003 over editorial differences. He is distributed by Copley News Service.
