He addresses issues of ‘otherism’ – immigration, xenophobia, LGBTQ rights, gun violence – with intelligence and humor. There is an effective dark overlay to his drawings, a chiaroscuro if you will, that lends itself to the serious topics he covers so well.”  You can see Bell’s winning entry here.

In addition to his editorial cartoons, Bell produces two syndicated comic strips, Candorville and Rudy Park. Learn more about his work here.

The Clifford K. & James T. Berryman Award for Editorial Cartoons was created in 1989 by Florence Berryman, former art critic of The Washington Star, to honor her late father and brother, both Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists. See the full list of distinguished Berryman winners here.
