Stuart Carlson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stuart Carlson is the editorial cartoonist for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. His cartoons usually follow the moderately conservative editorial stance of that paper (called the 'Milwaukee Urinal Sentinel' by right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh[citation needed]). He came to the Milwaukee Sentinel in 1983, and stayed with the company after it merged with the Milwaukee Journal. His work is distributed nationwide by the Universal Press Syndicate. Awards include the 1995 John Fischetti Award; his selection as the nation's best cartoonist in 1991 by the National Press Foundation; numerous best cartoon of the year honors from the Milwaukee Press Club; the 1986 Robert W. Gillespie Sentinel Staff Award for Excellence; and the 1988 University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Young Alumni Award.

His work has appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek, the Washington Post, Barron's, Playboy and on ABC News' Nightline.
