Though saying he often doesn鈥檛 know exactly what he鈥檒l be saying until the day of the appearance, Horsey explained, 鈥淚 will be doing a PowerPoint presentation of my cartoons, offering my satirical view of recent politics and giving insights into the 鈥榡ugular art鈥� of editorial cartooning.鈥�
Horsey has published five collections of his professional work, Horsey’s Rude Awakenings (1981), Horsey’s Greatest Hits of the 鈥�8Os (1989), The Fall of Man (1994), One Man Show (1999) and From Hanging Chad to Baghdad (2003). In 1992 he co-edited an anthology, Cartooning AIDS Around the World.
Horsey received the 1999 and 2003 Pulitzers for editorial cartooning, and was recipient of the National Press Foundation’s 1998 Berryman Award for Cartoonist of the Year. The Society of Professional Journalists has given him a total of 13 first-place regional awards for cartooning, governmental reporting and spot news reporting as well as the 1999 Susan Hutchison Bosch Award for outstanding achievement in journalism.
Horsey’s P-I career has taken him to national political party conventions, presidential primaries, international conferences, the Olympics, Japan and many countries in Europe. Horsey also spent a year at the Hearst Newspapers Washington Bureau where he took a close look at national politics for the P-I editorial page.
