We here at the AAEC are glad to hear he and his wife are on the other side of this. Chatfield — the current president of the National Cartoonists Society, and a prolific scribbler for the New Yorker and other publications — is a truly great guy, and we wish him the best as he recovers.

LOCHER FELLOWSHIP

The AAEC John Locher Memorial Fellowship is awarded each year to one early-career cartoonist whose work demonstrates clear opinions and strong artistry on political and social topics. Deadline to be considered is the end of March.

The Locher Fellow will receive a one-year Regular membership in the AAEC, be a guest of the CXC Festival — held every fall in Columbus, Ohio — and have the opportunity to meet with editorial cartoonists during the year of the Fellowship for portfolio reviews and career advice.
