Meet Walt Handelsman

Known for his wry sense of humor and thought provoking commentary, nationally syndicated editorial cartoonist Walt Handelsman attacks the pressing issues of the times. His entertaining and insightful cartoons cover topics ranging from national and local politics to social concerns.

Currently the editorial cartoonist for Newsday (N.Y.), Handelsman was the 1997 Pulitzer Prize winner for editorial cartooning. He was also the recipient of the 1996 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, the 1993 & 1989 National Headliner Awards and the 1992 Sigma Delta Chi Award, given by the Society of Professional Journalists.



Handelsman was the editorial cartoonist for The Scranton Times, a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper in northeastern Pennsylvania, from 1985 to 1989. Prior to his full-time newspaper career, Handelsman worked for a Baltimore advertising agency and freelanced editorial cartoons to regional newspapers.

A graduate of The Park School, a progressive liberal arts high school in Brooklandville, Maryland, Handelsman holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Cincinnati.
