OPC Awards to Luckovich, Bennett



The venerable Overseas Press Club Awards for this year have gone to the editorial cartoonists Mike Luckovich (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) and Clay Bennett (Christian Science Monitor), two stalwarts of the field. I'm not sure of the exact reason why these two men are winning an award for a program I believe supports outstanding foreign coverage, if there are specific cartoons in question, but both men obviously draw cartoons about international affairs in the course of their work. The article says the Overseas Press Club Awards have been around since 1940, when they were no doubt created to serve a plot point in a John Marquand novel.

this Bennett cartoon probably isn't a great example of the cartoonist's coverage of foreign affairs, but it's a fine cartoon
