This conversation most certainly is welcomed a second time. Congratulations to Ann on her Pulitzer and congratulations to the Pulitzer people for being smarter than they look.
Andy, you stole my thoughts! Well said. I hope Ann reads the kudos herein. And I couldn’t agree more: hopelessness is not a plan. On the flip side: hope plus humor make fuel for good trouble (hollering to John Lewis).
TERRIFIC NEWS !! Well done, Ann Telnaes ! It was a Pulitzer-worthy cartoon when you took it with you as you dumped Bezos, and it clearly means a lot to the most discerning critics of cartoons in the world, to have been awarded this highest honor. I hope Mr Bezos has a stomach ache.
Mazel tov, Ann Telnaes! This is an award for integrity and courage, not to mention for “speaking” on behalf of millions of citizens who are appalled by these oligarchs.
I was there long enough to watch the evolution...started under Buzbee, went from bad to worse under the Murdoch guy. The nix of the Editorial Board endorsement of Harris "did me in." I was out.
Okay, I was the first to like this post! Do I get a pat on the back? On the head? Handshake? Nothing at all? No problem 😉. Yay for the Pulitzer!! She deserves it!
Ann Telnaes is my favorite cartoonist. So glad she won the Pulitzer! Great recognition for her! But what I read (on another site) was that WaPo won the Pulitzer for her cartoons. That bothers me. Ann won the damn Pulitzer, not Bezos!!! Let's make sure the world knows that!!!!
When I left WaPo, I hated that I'd be missing several of my "favorites," and was SO delighted to see Ms. Telnaes jump ship too!!! Several of my other favs have left WaPo. I wish Dana Milbank would join the WaPo expats. Huge congratulations to Ms. Telnaes - such a great talent, such a great loss for WaPo.
I keep hoping Dana Milbank will take the leap and join Substack. I do miss his columns. And Alexandra Petri! Would love to see her here. She is a treasure.
APPLAUSE!!!! I feel a shift happening with more and more people standing true to their values and beliefs, and to give a big fat middle finger to fake47 and oligarchs....I love it.
Ann should be an inspiration to all of us. Be courageous. Resist. And remember that hopelessness isn’t a plan.
Congratulations Ann! Well done 👍

It was their plan we'd feel that way. Apparently it blew up in their faces
--and unfortunately not all over on the rest of them!

And chaos is not Governance
Exactly
Congratulations to courageous and brilliant Ann!!!❤️🎊🙏

And all the former WaPo readers who were appalled by it right-wing swing under Bezos.
This was the deciding moment for me to leave WP. What a wonderful award for you, Ann Telanes! You are very inspiring. ❤️
Me, too, Fig. I quit after Ann did and subscribed to her Substack when she came aboard. Much better investment than WAPO.
Congratulations, Ann.
Same here!
Ditto, Fig.
I thought the WP was always on the conservative side, but clearly democracy dies at the hands of Jeff Bezos.
I was there long enough to watch the evolution...started under Buzbee, went from bad to worse under the Murdoch guy. The nix of the Editorial Board endorsement of Harris "did me in." I was out.
I was never a subscriber, but I agree completely about nixing the endorsement of Harris. The LA Times was just as bad that way.
It's packaged and shipped overnight to oblivion!
He is certainly several of the hands trying to strangle the life out of democracy.

A like from my hero, whatshisname Borowitz. That works!
No kidding!!!!
Here's a handshake. Keep the change 🤝
I’ll take it! 🤝 and the change 😇

Yay Canada! They know a celebration when they see one, eh?

Just follow the WAPO escapees over to Contrarian and Substack
She’s already here!
On BlueSky too

Absolutely....Petri is one of my old, and missed, favs!!!!!
my impression is that she's on mat. leave - haven't seen a column in quite a while. Agreed that she has a sharp and funny pen (keyboard...)
I'm with you. I miss reading Dana Milbank's columns.
Such great news! Congratulations to Ann Telnaes!
APPLAUSE!!!! I feel a shift happening with more and more people standing true to their values and beliefs, and to give a big fat middle finger to fake47 and oligarchs....I love it.
Ann Telnaes, you are a National Treasure. Congratulations !!!!
She’s wonderful! Such a talented artist and satirist. I think WAPO will never
have another political cartoonist like her. The prize is HERS, not WAPOs.
Glorious cartoon, congratulations!
Thank you Andy, for highlighting this
BRAAAAVAAAA!!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Ann's a gem!
Well deserved!!
That's THRILLING news about Ann Telnaes!!! I am so happy to hear this!!!
