Prize-winner, Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal has called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons in San Francisco, where his work has been featured regularly on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site, SFGate.com. His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"carlysevern":{"type":"authors","id":"3243","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"3243","found":true},"name":"Carly Severn","firstName":"Carly","lastName":"Severn","slug":"carlysevern","email":"csevern@kqed.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Senior Editor, Audience News ","bio":"Carly is KQED's Senior Editor of Audience News on the Digital News team, and has reported for the California Report Magazine, Bay Curious and KQED Arts.

But, if possible, she recommends going out of town with your pets for July 4 — somewhere without fireworks, if possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update your pet’s tag and microchip information\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liu says shelters often receive microchipped animals but are unable to contact their owner because the pet's microchip information is outdated. Your veterinarian can help if you don’t know how to update this information or if you don't remember which microchip company you used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recognize fearful behavior\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pets may perceive loud, unexpected noises as a threat, and running away or hiding is a natural survival instinct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to know whether your animal is anxious in order to prevent them from accidentally injuring themselves. Animals may be showing signs of fear if they are panting, licking their lips, whining, drooling, shaking, yawning, hiding or not accepting a treat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Create a safe space\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is not uncommon to see pets trying to tear through metal crates, chew through door frames or jump out of windows,” Liu warns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She suggests owners create a safe haven for their pets before and during fireworks celebrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Choose a comfortable room without windows, or where you can close the curtains. Play soothing music or use a white noise machine,” Liu says. “The goal of these tools is to help your pet relax and stay calm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liu says some pets may want to hide in the bathroom due to its extra insulation, which could make a great safe space if your pet is naturally attracted to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Give them treats — but watch what they eat\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Distract your furry friends with what they love most — treats. Even better: Try a treat-dispensing toy, like a Kong, to keep them distracted for long periods of time. “A pet that is comfortable enough to be eating is less likely to be panicked or worried,\" Liu says.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Dr. Sophie Liu, SPCA\"]'Pets should never be near fireworks — not only is it scary for animals, but fireworks have the potential to cause serious harm.'[/pullquote]But be aware of what they have access to, she warns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’ve had animals come to our veterinary hospitals with severe injuries due to fireworks, including burns,\" Liu says. “Pets should never be near fireworks — not only is it scary for animals, but fireworks have the potential to cause serious harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dogs also may try to eat fireworks that aren’t safely stored, which contain chemicals and heavy metals.

Your veterinarian can help if you don’t know how to update this information or if you don't remember which microchip company you used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recognize fearful behavior\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pets may perceive loud, unexpected noises as a threat, and running away or hiding is a natural survival instinct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to know whether your animal is anxious in order to prevent them from accidentally injuring themselves. Animals may be showing signs of fear if they are panting, licking their lips, whining, drooling, shaking, yawning, hiding or not accepting a treat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Create a safe space\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is not uncommon to see pets trying to tear through metal crates, chew through door frames or jump out of windows,” Liu warns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She suggests owners create a safe haven for their pets before and during fireworks celebrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Choose a comfortable room without windows, or where you can close the curtains.

But not so fast — your furry friends may not be as excited for the holiday as you are. Fireworks are notorious for spooking animals, and shelters across the nation \u003ca href=\"https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/sacramento/verify-are-more-pets-lost-during-4th-of-july-than-any-other-time-of-the-year/103-569349422\">report an increase in lost pets\u003c/a> every year on Independence Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We spoke with a veterinarian from the San Francisco SPCA to make sure you and your pets are ready to celebrate the Fourth safely. Here are her top tips:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Keep Pets at Home or Leave Town\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s natural for animals to be fearful of loud noises,” Dr. Sophie Liu, San Francisco SPCA Resident in Behavior Medicine, tells KQED in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She recommends going out of town with your pets — somewhere without fireworks, if possible. But if you're planning to stay in town, make sure your pets are secure inside your home, and you're able to monitor them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Update Your Pet’s Tag and Microchip Information\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liu says shelters often receive microchipped animals but are unable to contact their owner because the pet's microchip information is outdated. Your veterinarian can help if you don’t know how to update this information or if you don't remember what microchip company you used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Recognize Fearful Behavior\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pets may perceive loud, unexpected noises as a threat, and running away or hiding is a natural survival instinct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to know if your animal is anxious in order prevent them from accidentally injuring themselves. Animals may be showing signs of fear if they are panting, licking their lips, whining, drooling, shaking, yawning, hiding or not accepting a treat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Create a Safe Space\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is not uncommon to see pets trying to tear through metal crates, chew through door frames, or jump out of windows,” Liu warns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She suggests owners create a safe haven for their pets before and during firework celebrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Choose a comfortable room without windows, or where you can close the curtains. Play soothing music or use a white noise machine,” Liu says. “The goal of these tools is to help your pet relax and stay calm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liu says some pets may want to hide in the bathroom due to its extra insulation, which could make a great safe space if your pet is naturally attracted to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Give Them Treats — But Watch What They Eat\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Distract your furry friends with what they love most — treats. Even better: try a treat-dispensing toy, like a KONG, to keep them distracted for long periods of time. “A pet that is comfortable enough to be eating is less likely to be panicked or worried,\" Liu says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But be aware of what they have access to, she warns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’ve had animals come to our veterinary hospitals with severe injuries due to fireworks, including burns,\" Liu says. “Pets should never be near fireworks — not only is it scary for animals, but fireworks have the potential to cause serious harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dogs may also try to eat fireworks that aren’t safely stored, which contain chemicals and heavy metals.

But not so fast — your furry friends may not be as excited for the holiday as you are. Fireworks are notorious for spooking animals, and shelters across the nation \u003ca href=\"https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/sacramento/verify-are-more-pets-lost-during-4th-of-july-than-any-other-time-of-the-year/103-569349422\">report an increase in lost pets\u003c/a> every year on Independence Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We spoke with a veterinarian from the San Francisco SPCA to make sure you and your pets are ready to celebrate the Fourth safely. Here are her top tips:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Keep Pets at Home or Leave Town\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s natural for animals to be fearful of loud noises,” Dr. Sophie Liu, San Francisco SPCA Resident in Behavior Medicine, tells KQED in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She recommends going out of town with your pets — somewhere without fireworks, if possible. But if you're planning to stay in town, make sure your pets are secure inside your home, and you're able to monitor them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Update Your Pet’s Tag and Microchip Information\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liu says shelters often receive microchipped animals but are unable to contact their owner because the pet's microchip information is outdated. Your veterinarian can help if you don’t know how to update this information or if you don't remember what microchip company you used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Recognize Fearful Behavior\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pets may perceive loud, unexpected noises as a threat, and running away or hiding is a natural survival instinct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to know if your animal is anxious in order prevent them from accidentally injuring themselves. Animals may be showing signs of fear if they are panting, licking their lips, whining, drooling, shaking, yawning, hiding or not accepting a treat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Create a Safe Space\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is not uncommon to see pets trying to tear through metal crates, chew through door frames, or jump out of windows,” Liu warns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She suggests owners create a safe haven for their pets before and during firework celebrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Choose a comfortable room without windows, or where you can close the curtains. Play soothing music or use a white noise machine,” Liu says. “The goal of these tools is to help your pet relax and stay calm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liu says some pets may want to hide in the bathroom due to its extra insulation, which could make a great safe space if your pet is naturally attracted to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Give Them Treats — But Watch What They Eat\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Distract your furry friends with what they love most — treats. Even better: try a treat-dispensing toy, like a KONG, to keep them distracted for long periods of time. “A pet that is comfortable enough to be eating is less likely to be panicked or worried,\" Liu says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But be aware of what they have access to, she warns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’ve had animals come to our veterinary hospitals with severe injuries due to fireworks, including burns,\" Liu says. “Pets should never be near fireworks — not only is it scary for animals, but fireworks have the potential to cause serious harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dogs may also try to eat fireworks that aren’t safely stored, which contain chemicals and heavy metals. Also keep your canines from munching on sparklers, glow sticks, charcoal, kabob skewers and even \u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/public/PetCare/Pages/foods-to-avoid.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dangerous common foods\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6.
