Olivia James returns... To the NY Times?

 

 She appears to have illustrated an article in yesterday's NYT opinion section. I've seen pretty good evidence that she's based around DC so I'm including her.

 If this is not the former Nancy cartoonist, let me know and I'll issue a correction.

Jabba the Hutt Say What? by Daniel Boris

 

Clay Jones receives Ink Bottle Award from AAEC (which becomes APA)

DD has the full story, relatively speaking...

AAEC 2026 Convention Awards and a Coming Change (or Two)

 D. D. Degg 

 September 20, 2026  https://www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2026/09/20/aaec-2026-convention-awards-and-a-coming-change-or-two/

So, now they'll be the  Association of Political Artists and merge with the Society of Illustrators? 

Anyway, it's Clay who's relevant to this blog, and he wrote on his Substack,

"It was while I was taking this photo that I heard my name. Why did I hear my name? Why did President Marc Murphy just say it? Because apparently, I was the recipient of this year's Ink Bottle Award.

This honor is awarded to a cartoonist for dedicated service to the association and distinguished effort to promote the art of editorial cartoon, as it says on the plaque. But why did I get it? I didn't do nothin’.

After we had judged the Babin Award a couple of months ago, I thought to myself that I didn't hear anything about the Ink Bottle Award for this year. I thought maybe I had just missed it, or maybe we decided to stop doing it. But there was a lot of convention business to handle this year, so I figured I had just missed it or maybe we weren't doing it anymore. But I did think of some cartoonists whom I thought would be worthy of it this year, and trust me, I didn't think I was one of them. I never entertained the thought that I would receive this. Why would I?"

Congratulations, Clay.

Italian cartoonist Bianca Bagnarelli illustrates for WaPo as well as NYT

Bianca Bagnarelli has been doing illustrations for the Times' Science section for a while. Sometime in that time, the Post's Health & Science section also picked her up to illustrate their articles. I quite like her work. Here's the most recent one:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/09/05/her-back-hurt-then-she-couldnt-button-her-pants-cause-was-alarming/

The Post's not-very-good search engine actually works to find her illustrations, and there's far more than I expected, starting in 2023. Someone should download all of these for me. I've been tearsheeting the paper and mailing them to the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library.

Shockingly the NYT search engine completely sucked (I filled in their survey about that) and barely returned anything relevant. But it looks as though she's been working for them since at least 2021.

Did WaPo run a cartoon ad drawn by AI?

On Facebook, Matt Wuerker declared it did, saying, " Ai slop on the back page of this morning’s Post. They could have hired one of scores of cartoonists and illustrators to create something far superior not to mention real, drawn by human hands. Instead they went with insipid dreck?"

and later, " Yes, correct. this is a paid ad, not an editorial cartoon. It's the kind of gig that used to pay a freelance cartoonist a decent amount of money. Now that money, or tokens go to an Ai slop company. It's much bigger than the fate of just editorial cartoonists. It's about human artists of all kinds vs big tech."

The ad is by a presumably leftwing organization btw, American United for the Separation of Church and State. It ran on September 17, 2026, p. A18. A tearsheet is going to the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library for future research.

BTW, Edith Pritchett returned to the Post months ago

Some time ago, I noted that Scottish cartoonist Edith Pritchett had disappeared from the WaPo's editorial pages in Nov 2025. What I didn't note, and should have, was that she returned in March 2026. Her weekly 4-panel cartoon revealed on May 15th that she'd probably been on maternity leave, but she also added a one-panel cartoon that week, getting 2 of the 7 slots on the editorial pages. Ramirez is still a regular with two a week, and then there's usually 1 random cartoonist, and some photos the other days. 

I still don't consider Pritchett an editorial cartoonist, but I enjoy her work and am glad she wasn't part of the great Opinion section purge. In case the Post purges its online archives, I've been sending tearsheets to Billy Ireland Cartoon Library.

Here's a cartoon from June showing that she can get politicalish.

and one from late August that's more pointed...
