Since 1972, Pelican has presented this yearbook of the most outstanding editorial cartoons.

Topics covered encompass all the major news events of the year: George Bush's continuing preparations for war against Saddam Hussein, the worldwide struggle to combat terrorism, the Republican vs. Democrat battle for control of the U.S. Congress, the sentencing of former Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh, and an economy that continues to sputter.

He has been the recipient of thirteen Freedom Foundation awards, a National VFW Award, two Vigilante Patriot awards, and a Sigma Delta Chi Award for editorial cartooning.
