Note: First in a series of random
political cartoonist profiles on this blog.
Phil Hands
is the editorial cartoonist for Wisconsin
State Journal in Madison, Wis. He is the only cartoonist on the staff of a
newspaper in Wisconsin.
Phil is a fierce political
moderate whose cartoons skewer the extremists on both the left and the right.
He learned long ago that no political party has a monopoly on bad ideas.
His cartoons have appeared in
publications like USA Today, Newsweek, Time, and The Washington Post. Phil has
won a number of state awards for editorial cartooning and was 2012
recipient of the Society of Professional Journalists Sigma Delta Chi award for
editorial cartooning for newspapers with circulation under 100,000.
Born in Syracuse, N.Y., Phil
grew up in the Detroit area before moving to Wisconsin in 2005. He is a
graduate of Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, and received his master’s degree
from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Phil lives in Madison with his very
understanding wife, Tricia, and two adorable children, Owen and Claire. In his
spare time, he enjoys drinking coffee, eating cheese, and being cold.
