AWARD HONORED WORK: Best cartoons on international affairs

Chappatte deftly captures the essence of compelling issues. He travels to troubled areas around the world using his reportorial, drawing and photography skills to present, in a glance, the terrors of Gaza, the slums of Nairobi or the uprisings in Tunisia. His subtle visual expression seduces rather than shouts.
