From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Michael Szep (born in 1941) is a cartoonist who produced editorial cartoons for the Boston Globe from 1967- 2001.

Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada,[1] Szep is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art. He received the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 1974 and 1977. He also received the National Cartoonist Society Editorial Cartoon Award for 1978, and their Sports Cartoon Award for 1987.

Szep was a strong opponent of the Vietnam War and his cartoons on Edward King, the governor of Massachusetts, resulted in his being sued for libel. In 1987, a court dismissed King's suit.[1]
