#MediaMonday – David Fitzsimmons

For many of us, the editorial cartoons are a must-see, whether they are in a student newspaper, a local daily or an international publication.  It’s a place where the First Amendment is showcased on a daily basis.  It’s where news, politics, irony, humor and art come together.
Today’s #MediaMonday comes to us from David W. Fitzsimmons, a multi-talented, all-around journalist who calls Tucson home, but whose work is seen and read worldwide.
So, Fitz, time to share!

A happy cancer survivor he has a beautiful and brilliant wife, three bright and creative children who have all managed to evade capture, three cats, one dog and the mouse is missing.
