Profile

Bio

Joe Sutliff (that’s me) is a cartoonist, illustrator and animator with over 40 years of experience creating cartoons and comics. Formerly a staff cartoonist for the (now closed) Rock Creek Free Press, his work has appeared in magazines, newspapers and the Internet, including TIME.com, The Washington Post, and SCIENCE Magazine.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the AAEC is to champion and defend editorial cartooning and free speech as essential to liberty in the United States and throughout the world.

The AAEC aims to be an international leader in support of the human, civil, and artistic rights of editorial cartoonists around the world, and to stand with other international groups in support of the profession.

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.
