Also nominated as finalists in this category were: Matt Bors, syndicated by Universal Uclick, for his pungent work outside the traditional style of American cartooning; and Jack Ohman, of the Portland Oregonian for his clever daily cartoons and a distinctive Sunday panel on local issues in which his reporting was as important as his artistic execution.
