I've talked with both pickers and campers who were offended by that image. Certainly nothing to loose his job over however.

You're right, Greenberg: the only guy covering this state. I wonder how many cartoonists thought that the media deregulation which allowed these corporate giants to assume control over every outlet in the country was a good idea. Terrible news.

That was the Sunday Perspective section's free lance local content editorial cartoon spot. They had that for a few years, paid pretty well, but, thing of the past now. Also the comic strips are even smaller. The Chicago Tribune just changed it’s format, dropping the Local Draw feature.

We won awards together as college cartoonists. Another veteran with decades of service to his newspaper and perhaps the one cartoonist really covering his state... yet another sacrifice to the almighty Bottom Line. Sad, sad, sad.
