Award-winning cartoonist is back

Mike Lester

Mike Lester, the award-winning cartoonist whose work was featured in WND in years past, is back in full form, to be featured several times a week on the news site's Commentary page.

Said Keith Koffler, former White House correspondent and editor of WhiteHouseDossier.com:

"You have nothing to fear from Mike Lester's withering wit unless you are a hypocrite, an ignoramus, a self-righteous politician, or all of the above."

Lester is a commercial artist, cartoonist, animator and writer. Putting pen to paper was his single purpose even as a kid.

"I studied and trained for it then, and I haven't stepped off the learning curve since. I've never had a day job," says Lester.

Though his home publication is the Rome (Ga.) News-Tribune, Lester's work is syndicated by the Washington Post Writers Group.

Among his many awards and accolades are:

Sigma Delta Chi Award, 2007 and 2010

Best Original Editorial Cartoon, two first places and one second, National Newspaper Association, 2004, 2005 and 2006

New York Times best-seller "A is for Salad"

Reuben Awards for advertising illustration in 2004 and for book illustration in 2000, 2006, 2008 and 2010

Reuben Award for best book illustration, 2010, "The Butt Book"

Designer of the Year, 2003, Georgia Press Association

Who's Who, 2004, Georgia Trend magazine

Lester normally produces three cartoons per week. WND publishes a new cartoon daily, available either on its Commentary page, under the heading WND.COMICS, or by clicking "WND.Comics" on the site's left-hand nav bar.
