THOMAS F. DARCY
Tom Darcy was a Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist from Brooklyn, New York, with a prolific career spanning four decades. In 1956, he graduated from the Cartoonists and Illustrators School, later known as the School of Visual Arts, and first worked in advertising before shifting to editorial cartooning at Newsday.
According to the New York Times, he "was the first in a new wave of editorial cartoonists, who abandoned stylized cartooning and went straight for the jugular." Darcy affirmed that characterization in interview, stating that his work was "not for the amusement of the comfortable." He was moved by the plight of the less fortunate and consistently expressed humanitarian concern through his practice as a graphic artist.
