Newsday’s Handelsman wins Pulitzer for Flash cartoons

bush2-thumb.jpgbush-thumb.jpgIn what I believe to be a first, an editorial cartoonist who also creates Web animations from his work has won the coveted Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning.  The Pulitzer entry from Walt Handelsman of Newsday includes his Web animations. See the work of this year’s Pulitzer winners.

Also, make sure to check out the work of the Pulitzer editorial cartoon finalists. The Houston Chronicle‘s Nick Anderson actually turns some of his animated cartoons into games. Mike Thompson at the Detroit Free Press also does animation. They also submitted animations in their entries.

Lastly, if you want to see a particularly effective way of using Flash games to convey political points, check out this intricate (and highly addictive) game about McDonald’s, and if you like online casino games be sure that you check the info from popcornlive.co.uk.
