Revision as of 00:10, 9 September 2006
Michael Ramirez (born May 11, 1961) is an American Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist. His cartoons present a conservative viewpoint.
Ramirez was born in Tokyo, Japan. He has worked for The Commercial Appeal of Memphis for seven years and then for the Los Angeles Times. In 1994, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. He has also been awarded the 1996 Mencken Award for Best Cartoon among his many other honors.
Michael Ramirez combines his encyclopedic knowledge of the news with a captivating drawing style to create consistently outstanding editorial cartoons. Ramirez, who studied premed at the University of California, Irvine, originally considered journalism a hobby. But he was hooked when his first cartoon for the college newspaper, lampooning candidates for student office, had the student assembly demanding an apology. "If I don't get at least one phone call a day that says I'm a moron, I'm not doing my job," Ramirez says of his penchant for sparking controversy with his cartoons.
On November 12, 2005, the Times announced that his cartoon would be discontinued at the end of the year. Ramirez expressed disappointment about the discontinuation. Ramirez joined Investor's Business Daily as a senior editor/editorial cartoonist, and his cartoon is syndicated in more than 400 newspapers by Copley News Service. He has been syndicated by Copley News Service since 1988.
Ramirez was named a Lincoln Fellow by the Claremont Institute in 2004.
