NOT 105 YEARS OLD

I really appreciate the congratulatory comments but I want to stress the fact that it is 

the newspaper I'm working for that turned 105 this year and not me!

EXCELSIOR daily newspaper celebrates 105th Anniversary!

                  Excelsior newspaper has been publishing my editorial cartoons since August, 2006.

Today marks the 105th anniversary of this legendary publishing company which was founded back in 1917 and I am very proud to be counted among the many contributing journalists, reporters and cartoonists who have helped to make this paper, one of the best and most relied upon news source in the country. 

Happy 105th Anniversary!
