David Horsey: Draw Quick, Shoot Straight
Fans of political humor and should recognize cartoonist David Horsey’s name. After all, he’s twice won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning, first in 1999 with his focus on the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, the second time in 2003 with his focus on the Bush administration. His cartoons appear in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and are syndicated nationwide.
Horsey is a local boy, moving to Seattle at the age of three. He attended Ingraham High School, and graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in communications. He first worked as a news reporter, until being hired by the P-I as the editorial cartoonist in 1979. He’s been there ever since.
And it’s not just about great cartoons! Horsey earned a master’s degree in International Relations from the University of Kent (U.K.), and later received an honorary doctorate degree from Seattle University.
Horsey will be at the University Book Store to talk about his career in cartooning, preview images from his new book, "Draw Quick, Shoot Straight," and signing books. His latest book focuses on the War in Iraq, the 2004 election, the upcoming 2008 election, and there is even a section devoted to some local issues.
