About Moderately Confused

Award-winning editorial cartoonist Jeff Stahler creates Moderately Confused, a whimsical slice-of-life daily comic panel. Editorial cartoonist for The Columbus Dispatch, Stahler also draws political cartoons that are distributed worldwide by Newspaper Enterprise Association. "Moderately Confused is an extension of my daily thinking routine," says Stahler. "I'm used to observing the front pages of the news and commenting with a cartoon. But every day, the rest of the paper tracks the culture, and all of those stories are rich for commentary, too. This panel gives me an outlet for observing those back pages of the paper that I enjoy reading as well." Stahler's cartoons appear every week in USA Today and are frequently reprinted in major magazines and newspapers, including Newsweek and The New York Times. Stahler's Moderately Confused was a finalist for the National Cartoonists Society's 2005 Reuben division award for Best Cartoon Panel. A native of Bellefontaine, Ohio, Stahler graduated from the Columbus College of Art and Design. He resides in Columbus, Ohio, with his family.
