A self-described liberal, Britt nevertheless delights in skewering deserving politicians of every persuasion. His numerous awards include first place for editorial cartooning from the Washington Press Association in 1995 and the National Press Foundation's Berryman Award as editorial cartoonist of the year in 1994.

When he's not cartooning, Britt volunteers as a mentor for high school students and at a stay-in-school program. Before joining the SJ-R, he was a cartoonist at The Seattle Times, the Sacramento Union, the Houston Post and The News Tribune of Tacoma, Wash.
