For 35 years, Signe Wilkinson's political cartoons at the Philadelphia Daily News and later the Philadelphia Inquirer targeted malpracticing politicians and championed women and children's rights, education, racial equity, privacy, free speech and the joys of gardening. She didn't turn down the Pulitzer Prize, two RFK awards and four Overseas Press Club Thomas Nast Awards. While called many things by critics, she most cherishes being named "Pennsylvania State Vegetable Substitute" by an admiring state politician. For additional information see Signe's website,
