About Etta Hulme

Lived 1923 – 2014 (aged 90). Etta Hulme was an American cartoonist and editorial cartoonist.

Etta Hulme (December 22, 1923 – June 25, 2014) was an American editorial cartoonist. Her syndicated cartoons started appearing in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in 1972. Her drawing style has been described as "understated".

Hulme won the National Cartoonists Society Editorial Cartoon Award for 1981 and 1998. In addition, she was elected the president of the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists. In the late 1980s, she was thought to be one of only five or six women employed as an editorial cartoonist in the United States.

Known for her wit and liberal perspective, including her depiction of Rush Limbaugh. Some commentators have compared her political perspective to columnist Molly Ivins and Texas governor Ann Richards. Her last cartoon was published in December 2008, and featured George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.

After surviving a heart attack in early 2009, Hulme died at her home in Arlington, Texas, on June 24, 2014, at the age of 90.
