“I feel very honored getting those two awards this year” Peters said. “That’s gilding a lily in a way, because I love what I do.”
Peters’ editorial cartoons became syndicated in 1972 and now appear in more than 400 newspapers nationwide. His popular comic strip “Mother Goose and Grimm” was created in 1984 and is syndicated in more than 800 newspapers worldwide.
Peters said the honors were a surprise because he is semi-retired from editorial cartooning. “I’ve been doing five political cartoons and then seven comic strips a week for over 25 years,” he said.
He still does two political cartoons each week, plus his weekly “Open Mike” caption contest feature and seven daily comic strips.
