Click on image to enlarge. Copyright © 2007 Daytona Beach News-JournalBruce Beattie, creator of BEATTIE BLVD., began his cartooning career in the political realm. He joined the Daytona Beach News-Journal in Florida as editorial cartoonist in 1981 and today is syndicated to hundreds of newspapers.
In 1986, he launched a cartoon panel called "Snafu," which later became BEATTIE BLVD., and in 1997 began distribution through the Los Angeles Times Syndicate. In 1992 and 1995 BEATTIE BLVD. was a finalist for the National Cartoonists Society's "Best Cartoon Panel" award.
In addition to syndication, Beattie's cartoons have been featured on "Meet the Press," in the New York Times, New York Daily News, Detroit News, Milwaukee Journal and in several museum exhibits. He won the 1995 South Florida Society of Professional Journalists' Excellence in Journalism award, among numerous other honors.

He has served on the Board of Directors of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, the Newspaper Features Council, and the International Museum of Cartoon Art. He is featured in the 1995 book A Career in the Comics, and other cartoon publications.
Bruce Beattie is the editorical cartoonist for the Daytona Beach fishwrap. He deserves a Pulitzer Prize. Because I needed practice in posting images to this blog after a one-year, hiatus, this is a twofer and if (fair & balanced) admiration enters the mix, so be it.
