Steve Breen Wins 2010 Fischetti Award

Alan Gardner caught this story on which I fairly whiffed: Steve Breen of the San Diego Union-Tribune has won the John Fischetti Editorial Cartoon Competition. His submission is the cartoon above, which ran July 11 of last year.

Steve Breen has won the Pulitzer Prize twice, the Berryman Award, the Thomas Nast Award and the National Headliner Award. He's been with the Union-Tribune since 2001.

The award has been given out since 1980 and is named after John Fischetti. I don't recall the award in years past being named so close to the Pulitzer, which I think is kind of unfortunate since the Pulitzer is clearly the bigger award, but maybe I'm just forgetting that part. I also can't remember what the winner gets, although I do recall there's a healthy scholarship program also attached to the Fischetti name.
