Watch: Jack Ohman Interview, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Cartoonist

Exclusive Humor Times interview with Jack Ohman, now available here and on the ‘Soapbox’ YouTube channel.

Humor Times editor James Israel sat down with Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Jack Ohman for an in-depth interview you won’t want to miss!

The interview originally aired on Access Sacramento TV on Monday, June 6th, as part of a series called “Soapbox Sacramento,” a progressive talk show which airs every Monday evening. It is now available on the Soapbox YouTube channel, embedded below.

The Pulitzer Prize award announcement was made on Monday, April 18, 2016, and is journalism’s highest honor. The citation noted that Ohman, 55, drew “cartoons that convey wry, rueful perspectives through sophisticated style that combines bold line work with subtle colors and textures.”

Jack Ohman joined The Sacramento Bee in 2013. He previously drew cartoons for the Oregonian, the Columbus Dispatch and the Detroit Free Press. Tribune Media Services syndicates his work to more than 200 newspapers (including the Humor Times).

A native Minnesotan, Jack has won the Scripps Foundation Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award and the national SPJ Award, and he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2012 and the Herblock Prize in 2013.

The Bee notes that, “Since arriving in Sacramento, Ohman has established himself as a prominent voice on politics and social issues through his cartoons, a weekly humor column, a blog and via his alter ego, fictional California politician Joe King.”
