"My style has changed over the years, but I'm always big on simplicity, which keeps it a challenge to get the idea across in a nugget. I try to keep my style and my approach fresh by pushing myself to new boundaries, such as using symbolism and doing cartoons without words."

-- Jim Berry

Berry's World, one of America's most widely syndicated editorial cartoons, is distributed six times each week by Newspaper Enterprise Association. Jim Berry joined NEA's editorial art department in 1961 and began Berry's World in 1963.

Berry is a five-time winner of national Cartoonist Society awards, including two in 1973 for "Best Special Feature." In 1967, the National Headliners Club honored him with their award for "Consistently Outstanding Editorial Cartoon."

In addition to his daily editorial cartoon, Berry also does a Sunday comic strip version of Berry's World. "I enjoy working in color on the Sunday pages and having all that space in which to draw," says Berry.

Life in the Mall Lane, a collection of Berry's daily and Sunday panels, was published by Topper Books in 1987.
