Cartoonist; Mother Goose & Grimm
Mike Peters is recognized as one of the U.S.A.'s most prominent cartoon artists for his outstanding work as both a political and comic strip cartoonist. His favorite expression WHAT A HOOT certainly sums up his outlook on his life and work which are inexorably entwined.
In 1981 Mike was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Journalism and in 1984 the award-winning Mother Goose & Grimm comic strip was born -- all with the help of Marian, his wife, best friend and business partner of 35 years.
Mike's humor appeals to all age groups and all nationalities. His work is syndicated in newspapers worldwide and frequently appears in national publications and on national television. He has become familiar to thousands through his many appearances on shows such as Good Morning America, The Joan Rivers Show, The Today Show, Equal Time, MSNBC, CNNFN and C-SPAN.
Mike is also a popular lecturer and makes appearances at editor and publisher conventions, on the college lecture circuit and before political groups. The University of Dayton awarded him with an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Degree in 1998.
Mike's political cartoons appear in over 400 newspapers worldwide. His political work is featured frequently in such publications as Newsweek, Time, U.S. News and World Report, and The New Republic. He is particularly proud of his animated editorial cartoons, Peters Postscripts which aired on NBC's Nightly News in 1981. It was the first time animated editorial cartoons appeared regularly on a prime-time network news program. He also has done a 14-part interview series, The World of Cartooning with Mike Peters, for PBS.
Mother Goose & Grimm appears in over 800 newspapers worldwide and consistently places in the top 10 most popular ratings.
