David Horsey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Horsey (born 1951) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist in the United States. His cartoons appear in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and are syndicated to newspapers nationwide.
Horsey was born in Evansville, Indiana and moved to Seattle, Washington at age 3. He began perfecting his craft as a cartoonist in the Cascade, the school newspaper at Ingraham High School. He attended the University of Washington, where as a freshman he became the editorial cartoonist of the student newspaper The Daily. He graduated in 1976 with a degree in communications.
Horsey's first job was as a reporter for the Bellevue Journal-American, but in 1979 he was hired to be the editorial cartoonist of the Post-Intelligencer, where he has worked ever since. In 1986, he earned a master's degree in international relations from the University of Kent in England.
Horsey has been recognized for his work with numerous awards over the years, the most notable of which is the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. He received this award first in 1999, when many of his cartoons focused on the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and again in 2003, when he often lampooned the Bush administration.
