BERRYMAN, JAMES T. (1902-1971)

Starting as sports cartoonist for a Florida paper, in 1935 he joined the Washington Evening Star, where he & his father, Clifford Berryman, became the foremost father-son team in cartoon history.

James Berryman won a 1950 Pulitzer Prize for his McCarthy era drawing of a hearing room filled with microphones and cameras, titled “All Set for a Super-Secret Session.”
