Subscribe to RSSI’m very pleased to announce that Mike Keefe, who is syndicated by Cagle Cartoons and is a long-time staffer for The Denver Post, is the winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning, the highest award any member of the media can win.
The Pulitzer judges said he was awarded the prize “for his widely ranging cartoons that employ a loose, expressive style to send strong, witty messages..”
Keefe is a two-time Fischetti Award winner, and has also won both the Sigma Delta Chi Award and the National Headliner Award. This is his first Pulitzer, although he was a Pulitzer juror in 1997 and 1998.
“I am gobsmacked,” Keefe told The Post. “In recent years, the Pulitzer has gone to much younger folks, who are newer in the business. I thought my day had passed.” (Here’s a pic of Keefe getting congratulated by his Editorial Page Editor upon hearing the news)
Here is a slideshow featuring all 20 of his Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoons.

very astute cartoons,well deserved,,,CONGRATULATIONS MIKE!!
Could it have anything to do with the ultra liberal slant to the toons that got him that prize?
Another Self Promoting Liberal Award in attempts to justify their stupidity. Also, I love how MSNBC chooses which articles can be commented on. Anytime Liberals make glaring general accusations, no coments allowed. Take for instance an article today with the two Liberal Senators form WA blaming high gas prices on speculators......Yet last time it was $4 a gal; these same cronnies were yelling left andf right that "we must impeach BUSH"
Anyway, back to this subject; when will these insane awards for nothing end? Next we know Ted Kennedy will be awarded the pulitzer peace price for his "baptising's at the Kennedy Compound".....lol
Please do a little research before you spout off. The Pulitzer is an award which is highly respected by both left and right. There is, of course, no such thing as the "pulitzer peace price (sic)".
more liberal spin from the leftist msnbc machine, plain for anyone to see that msnbc is the official propaganda machine for the obama trainwreck, how bout a little more fair and balanced reporting msnbc, this dribble makes me sick.
