Ohman is the contributing cartoonist and columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, and publishes his cartoons and columns via his Substack, Jack Ohman’s You Betcha.
His sharp commentary and expert draftsmanship have been recognized throughout his storied career with awards such as the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning and the 2009 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award.
He was a 2013 finalist for the Herblock Prize. Ohman is also the only two-time president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, and currently serves on the AAEC board as immediate past president.
Molina is an internationally known cartoonist who publishes his English-language cartoons at Counterpoint.com, and his Spanish-language cartoons at Confidencial.digital.
Molina fled his native Nicaragua in 2018 after a government crackdown on journalists, and has lived in the United States ever since.
He was previously a finalist for the Herblock Prize in 2024, and has been awarded numerous cartooning prizes such as the Gabo Award for Excellence in Journalism and the Maria Moors Cabot Prize from Columbia University.
