Nate Beeler Named Nast Award Winner

The Overseas Press Club of America has named Nate Beeler this year's recipient of the Thomas Nast Award for editorial cartooning.

According to the judges, "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.'"

Beeler has been with The Washington Examiner since 2005, and is syndicated through Cagle Cartoons.
