Paul Fell: 1946-2026

Longtime AAEC member and Nebraska editorial cartoonist Paul Fell had passed at 80. Paul was a beloved friend and cheerful force in our group for decades. He drew cartoons as both a full time staff member and a as freelancer for The Lincoln Journal from 1984 through 2007, and continued to self-syndicate throughout the rest of his life.

The Daily Cartoonist posted a retrospective of Paul’s life and work, which you can read by clicking here. And a friend of Paul’s wrote about his impact on Paul’s Substack, which can be found by clicking here.

The AAEC expresses its deepest condolences to Paul’s family and friends.

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.
