An Evening with Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist, Signe Wilkinson

 

Signe Wilkinson is the first female cartoonist to win the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning (1992) and her work is described as having a unique style and famous irreverence. Born into a Quaker family in Texas, Wilkinson graduated from the University of Denver and later attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. She also worked for the Quakers and the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University before working  for a housing project in Cypress. This job ended due to a coup d’etat followed by a military invasion from Turkey. Realizing her interest in both art and politics, Wilkinson began her career in journalism, working for numerous publications in West Chester, Philadelphia, and at the San Jose Mercury News. She has also launched a syndicated comic strip and published collections of her work. Wilkinson was once named “the Pennsylvania state vegetable substitute” by the former speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
