Pulitzer-winning cartoonist Steve Benson's brilliant career spans nearly four decades. He has consistently found himself embroiled in controversy with his fearless editorial cartoons. 

Steve publicly broke with the Mormon church following his revelation that his 94-year-old grandfather, Ezra Taft Benson, the putative president of the LDS Church, was, in fact, completely incapacitated while still in an unquestioned position of power in the church. Steve then turned his sharp wit and pen to the work of exposing hypocrisy and fighting religion "as an impediment to civilized advancement."
