Doug Marlette
 
Meet Doug Marlette

Doug Marlette was born in Greensboro, N.C., and grew up in Durham, N.C., Laurel, Miss. and Sanford, Fla.

Both his editorial cartoons and his comic strip "Kudzu" are syndicated in hundreds of newspapers worldwide. He has won every major award for editorial cartooning, including the 1988 Pulitzer Prize, and he was the first and only cartoonist to receive the prestigious Neiman Fellowship at Harvard University. He won first prize in the 1992 Fischetti Cartoon Competition, becoming the only repeat first-prize winner in the award's history. In 1997 he won his second Robert F. Kennedy Journalism award and in 1998 received his third National Headliner award.

He spent 15 years at the Charlotte Observer, two years at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and now draws editorial cartoons for Newsday.

His work is reprinted regularly in Newsweek, The New York Times and The Washington Post. He is occasionally featured on "CBS Morning News," "Good Morning America," "Nightline" and National Public Radio's "Morning Edition."



His cartoons have been collected in 14 books, including Faux Bubba: Bill and Hillary Go to Washington (Times Books/Random House), Gone With the Kudzu (Rutledge Hill Press) and I Feel Your Pain (Loblolly Books.)

He co-wrote, with novelist Pat Conroy, the screenplay "Ex" and also created a musical based on his comic strip "Kudzu."

Marlette divides his time between Manhattan and Hillsborough, N.C., where he lives with his wife Melinda and son Jackson.
