AWARD HONORED WORK: Best cartoons on international affairs

Nate Beeler’s entries stood out for their powerful and vivid composition that brings the message home regardless of whether the cartoon centers on a conversation or a visual punch line. Notable for his use of color and for meticulous art work that, in the words of one of his editors, “treats each cartoon like a painting.”
