Mike Luckovich Wins Baker Award



Mike Luckovich, the most-lauded cartoonist of recent memory, recently won the Brooke Baker Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Friends of Dunwoody Library in Dunwoody, Georgia. Mr. Baker was a past president of that group. I have no idea why the article popped up on my radar, but it seems like a nice thing to get. It's sometimes easy to forget in this day of syndication and positions being tossed overboard with increasing regularity that the best editorial cartoonists work within a local framework in addition to straddling the national dialogue.

The Pulitzer Prize and Reuben winner noted in his speech that he doesn't go into work until lunch, which would be an alarming thing for any job other than working at a morning daily. He works with two editors and as a kid dreamed of working for MAD. As noted above, he certainly seems comics aware.
