Editorial cartoonist and illustrator Barry Blitt

Barry Blitt is known for his routinely superb editorial cartoons and illustrations, and for his great wit.  His work (for which he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 2020) appears regularly in The New Yorker, and, not infrequently, on the magazine's cover. 

Here is a new drawing by him, from the cover of The New Yorker's May 11th & May 18th double issue, which focuses upon America's upcoming 250th anniversary. The drawing is titled "Red, White, and Kinda Blue."
