Tom Tomorrow Accepts Clifford K. and James T. Berryman Award

National Press Foundation

Feb 27, 2025

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcvuNycmIsw

Dan Perkins, known by his nom de plume Tom Tomorrow, accepted the 2024 Clifford K. and James T. Berryman Award for Editorial Cartoons from the National Press Foundation at its Awards Dinner on Feb. 20, 2025. The freelancer's cartoons, published in the Daily Kos, often depict right-wing political figures. "Tom Tomorrow's sharp and iconic work embodies the higher purpose of political cartooning: holding powerful figures to account using satire grounded in good journalism," NPF judges said. The Berryman Award, established in 1989, is given annually in memory of a father and son who were both Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists and represent the highest standards of illustration and journalism. Previous Berryman winners include freelance cartoonist Jen Sorensen, Ward Sutton of The Boston Globe, Ruben Bolling of the Tom the Dancing Bug weekly cartoon strip, Steve Sack of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Robert "RJ" Matson of CQ Roll Call and syndicated cartoonist Nancy Ohanian. NPF is solely responsible for the content. This video was produced within the Evelyn Y. Davis studios.

That darn “Dustin” and “WuMo”

Washington Post March 1 2025: A13.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/02/28/job-cuts-anonymous-sources-prostate-cancer/

men …

After lung cancer, prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer death of men in the United States. The Feb. 10 "Dustin" comic strip depicted a doctor about to give his patient a rectal prostate exam, an important initial method of cancer detection. However, the doctor's dour expression and the surprise and concern on the face of the patient might dangerously discourage men from getting checked.

Robert Nover, Washington

and irony

In the Feb. 12 "WuMo" comic strip, two men are standing in front of a printing press through which a newspaper is being printed. One man — the boss, I suppose — says to the other: "Just print lorem ipsum on all the pages. No one reads printed newspapers. They're mostly used for bird cages and wrapping fish." I beg to differ. I still read the printed paper daily. I will make the transition to an electronic version only reluctantly. By the way, now that the comics are printed in color, they are more inviting.
