SPJ Recognizes the Genius of Mr. Fish (Again)

For the second year in a row, the Society of Professional Journalists has picked our resident genius artist, Dwayne Booth — you know him as Mr. Fish — as the recipient of its prestigious Sigma Delta Chi Award for Editorial Cartooning in the Online Independent category.

We couldn’t agree more with this choice. Take a look at the lineup of cartoons that constituted just a few of Fish’s best of 2010 by clicking here. Congratulations, Dwayne — Mr. Big Fish. –KA

Also: Check out this “hearty plug” for Mr. Fish’s new book, “Go Fish,” from fellow cartoonist Daryl Cagle. And Fish fans can see his work as the featured illustrations for Chris Hedges’ Truthdig columns on a biweekly basis.
