The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists remembers Etta Hulme

Etta Hulme, cartoonist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, died June 25th at the age of 90.  A longtime member and former president, Etta was a widely respected and beloved member of the AAEC.  Although her drawing style has been described as soft, the messages behind the images were powerful and clear.  Etta was exactly what an editorial cartoonist should be, fearless and determined- plus she did it with a wonderful smile.
 
The AAEC sends their deepest sympathy to her family and friends.  We'll miss Etta very much.
