    Spanning from "Vietnam and the Johnson Years" to "Clinton and Everyone Else," the editorial cartoons of Paul Szep showcase his biting wit and scathing social commentary. At the Boston Globe since 1966, Szep, as he is simply known to his thousands of loyal fans, has had more than three decades to hone the razor edge of his ironic, sarcastic humor. No one is immune from his criticism. Boston's beloved Red Sox, O. J. Simpson, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Bob Dole, and the British royal family have all been targets for his pen. Social issues including Ebonics, violence on television, and race relations fail to escape unscathed.Paul Szep was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and graduated from the Ontario College of Art. Before joining the Boston Globe, he played hockey and worked part-time in Canadian steel mills, which helped to shape his views and opinions. These, combined with his talent as an editorial cartooninst, have earned him two Pulitzer Prizes and numerous other awards. His cartoons have been featured in many issues of Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year , published by Pelican.
