Distinguished examples of editorial cartooning that exemplify the courageous independent standard set by Herblock
Mark Fiore has been awarded the 2016 Herblock Prize for excellence in political cartooning. Fiore is self-syndicated and the first animator to win the award, named after the legendary Washington Post cartoonist Herb Block. One of the judges for this year’s prize, cartoonist and illustrator Peter Kuper, praised Fiore’s “ability to convey complex topics with great humor, rage and irony . . . His work honors the legacy of Herblock and expands the form.”
