Diversions Paperback – March 1, 2006
by Ed Hall (Author)
“Gadflies.” That’s how the great political cartoonist Bill Mauldin once referred to the bothersome gnats within his profession. But cartoonist Ed Hall prefers to think of himself as an insect with a little more sting. He’s spent the last fifteen years needling government and officials with insightful images and fearless opinions. Indeed, few issues are too diverse or too extreme for this freelance cartooning maverick. Hall has won 7 Florida Press Awards, 3 Newsmaker Awards, and numerous fine art awards in national and international competitions. In 2003, he was presented the 53rd Annual Green Eyeshade Award for weekly cartoons by The Society of Professional Journalists.
Also in 2003 he won the prestigious Excellence in Journalism Award from The Florida Press Club, competing with cartoonists from papers up to 75,000 in circulation. Covering events from 2003 through 2006, Diversions marks the second comprehensive collection of Ed Hall’s cartoons. His first compilation, Code Red, published in 2003, was received with rave reviews. Through his weekly syndication with DBR Media, and Artizans Syndicate, Ed's work is featured in some of the largest newspapers across North America and Canada, including The Washington Post National Weekly Edition, and on CNN Headline News. Halltoons have also consistently been featured in Charles Brook's "Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year (2001, 2002, and 2003, 2004 & 2005)."
