PHOENIX — Steve Benson, a Pulitzer-Prize winning political cartoonist who worked for the Arizona Mirror and the Arizona Republic, has died at the age of 71, according to an Arizona Mirror report.

Working since the 1980’s, Benson won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1993. He was also a Pulitzer Prize finalist four times (1984, 1989, 1992 and 1994). Benson retired last year, per the report.

Benson’s work appeared in several national publications, including The Washington Post, Time Magazine and The New York Times.

Benson’s brother, Michael, who is the incoming president of West Virginia University, paid tribute to his brother on X Wednesday, calling him a “prodigious talent and better human being.”
