Michael Cavna is an American cartoonist and creator of the "Comic Riffs" column for The Washington Post.
His "Wise Up" cartoon launched the viral #Draw4Atena campaign in 2015 on behalf of jailed Iranian artist Atena Farghadani.[1]
His column has received more than a dozen national awards from the Society for Features Journalism, in 2013,[2] 2014,[3] 2015[4], 2016[5] and 2017.[6]
Cavna wrote the Harvey Award-nominated journalism profile for the Eisner Award-nominated book Team Cul de Sac: Cartoonists Draw the Line at Parkinson's.[7] He was the emcee and co-programmer of the first-ever "Graphic Novel Night" Pavilion at the Library of Congress's 2014 National Book Festival[8] -- a role he continues.
In February 2015, Cavna began a cartoon that was updated monthly to mark the 545-day detention of American-Iranian journalist Jason Rezaian of The Washington Post;[9] the National Press Club (United States) used the cartoon to raise awareness about Rezaian's case.[10]
In April 2016, his "Comic Riffs" column was an Eisner Award[11] finalist for journalism.
In April 2017, his "Comic Riffs" columns received a National Headliner Award[12] for lifestyle writing. In May 2017, "Comic Riffs" received a second Eisner Award[13] nomination for journalism. In October 2017, Cavna shared his personal "Peanuts" history in the Eisner Award-nominated book[14] Celebrating Snoopy.[15]
In April 2018, Cavna, with narrator/animator Tom Racine, won the Society of Professional Journalists'Sigma Delta Chi Award[16] for his audio/visual storytelling for "For Art's Sake."[17]
