It will die and rightly so. Anybody who will give the wonderfully talented Bill Garner the pink slip is a buffoon and a total idiot.

Bill Garner made the editorial page ,Fresh, lively and timely content !!! You must be crazy. Bill Garner had all of those qualities and you forced him out. Bill Garner is a talented person and I find that you do not understand that. Sorry, Mr. Amberg, you forced a good man off of the Washington Times. The present cartoonist just cannot cut it. Mr. Amberg,

Bill Garner's cartoons were always something I always looked forward to reading -- so much more professional than the Other Paper's current and previous "cartoonists". Bill, with your talent, you should have no trouble getting syndicated. Best of luck from a Garner fan. I’ve been a Washington Star/Times reader for decades.

Well, not as an editorial cartoonist for a newspaper. There's a long line of them ahead of him in the unemployment line. “I hope Garner can continue to ply his trade elsewhere.”
