Washington Post Writers Group To Distribute Lisa Benson’s Cartoons

The Washington Post Writers Group has announced it will distribute editorial cartoons created by Lisa Benson of California's Victorville Daily Press. Benson has held that one-cartoon-a-week gig since 1992, taking a two-year break earlier this decade.. In doing so, Benson joins two elite "teams": the Washington Post Writers Group editorial cartoon team, which I believe consists of Nick Anderson and Signe Wilkinson; and the ranks of female editorial cartoonists with major syndicates. That group I always thought was Wilkinson, Etta Hulme and Ann Telnaes, but Editor & Publisher used "including" instead of "consists of" to describe that group, so now I'm not certain.

A lengthy 2005 profile in the Daily Press shows a photo of Benson including a sample of her work.
