Martha Montoya Wins Hero Award

Among the recipients of International Human Rights Hero Awards for 2007 given out by Artists for Human Rights on October 2 was cartoonist Martha Montoya. While I don't have any idea what Artists for Human Rights is beyond my supposition based on their founder and the awards show's location that it has something to do with the Church of Scientology, it's always interesting to me when Martha Montoya's name pops up in the news. The Southern California-based Montoya is one of those hidden cartoonists, like Don Rosa or Randall Monroe -- someone who has a sizable readership, in her case a slick juggernaut of a licensing program, and a successful career by any measure, despite not really being a presence in one of the traditional mainstreams of comics and cartooning. Or at least not discussed as one of those people. Here's a profile of the cartoonist, whose creation is Los Kitos.
