What started as a way to poke fun at teachers and staff at his high school has turned into a Pulitzer Prize winning career for editorial cartoonist David Horsey.
“I’ve drawn ever since I was little,” said Horsey, 59. “I started doing editorial cartoons for my high school paper, actually a lot of it was making fun of PE teachers and lunchroom staff but, some politics.”
Horsey attended Ingraham High School in Seattle and the University of Washington before generating national notoriety with his three-decade career — and counting — at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which has now morphed into the seattlepi.com. Horsey received his first Pulitzer in 1999, when many of his cartoons focused on the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and again in 2003, when he often humorously ripped the Bush administration.
But did you know that Horsey’s journalism career started here in Redmond?
