Dan Perkins, known by his nom de plume Tom Tomorrow, has won the 2024 Clifford K. and James T. Berryman Award for Editorial Cartoons from the National Press Foundation.

The freelancer’s cartoons, published in the Daily Kos, often depict right-wing political figures.

“Tom Tomorrow’s sharp and iconic work embodies the higher purpose of political cartooning: holding powerful figures to account using satire grounded in good journalism,” NPF judges said.

Perkins will accept the award at the National Press Foundation Annual Awards Dinner on Thursday, February 20, 2025.

The Berryman Award, established in 1989, is given annually in memory of a father and son who were both Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists and represent the highest standards of illustration and journalism.

Last year’s winner was freelance cartoonist Jen Sorensen. Previous Berryman winners include Ward Sutton of Boston Globe, Ruben Bolling of the Tom the Dancing Bug weekly cartoon strip, Steve Sack of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Robert “RJ” Matson of CQ Roll Call and syndicated cartoonist Nancy Ohanian.
