bio

Hilary Price is a cartoonist, storyteller, and speaker. Her comic strip Rhymes with Orange appears in newspapers internationally. She is a four-time winner of Best Newspaper Panel Cartoon by the National Cartoonists Society and was just named Cartoonist of the Year in August 2024.

Hilary graduated from Stanford University, and at the age of 25 became the youngest-ever female syndicated newspaper cartoonist. Her journey exemplifies passion and innovation, introducing perspectives that did not exist on the comics page. Other shiny trophies include an Inkpot Award for Career Achievement from the San Diego Comic Con International, and the Elzie Segar Award from the National Cartoonists Society for making a unique and outstanding contribution to the profession of cartooning. Thanks to these, her dusting technique is first rate. 

Hilary teaches single panel cartooning at The Center For Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, VT. She tells stories for The Moth and on NPR. Her work has been collected in The San Francisco Museum of Cartoon Art, The Billy Ireland Cartoon Museum at the Ohio State University and in The Library of Congress.

When not at her drawing table, Hilary walks her overly large dog and plays ice hockey and pickleball. She and her partner live in western Massachusetts. She now collaborates on Rhymes With Orange with Canadian cartoonist Rina Piccolo.
