While the awards for best editorial cartoonist are not handed out until later in 2006, Krissie Rutherford of The Brampton Guardian offers up her vote: based on the number of cartoons he has in the annual Portfoolio book collection, the winner is Oakville's Steve Nease.
"Steve Nease has 15 cartoons in Portfoolio 21, The Year's Best Canadian Editoral Cartoons-- that's the most of the 42 artists who cracked this year's edition.
'It's always an honour to be included in the annual best-of collection,' Nease said. 'It's a fairly competitive field and it's nice to be recognized with peers who I respect and admire.'
The 50-year-old Oakville Beaver art director, who does the editorial cartoons for many of The Guardian's sister newspapers in the Metroland chain, is no stranger to Portfoolio-- he's had cartoons in every edition since 1989.
'I'd had as many as 12 before this year,' he said. 'To get 15 is a personal best, so I'm very pleased.' "
