OPEN THE BLOOD GATES

Anyone have a copy of that photoshop I did of this Mike Lester cartoon, where I changed the punchline to his editor saying something like, "No, I mean you loving suck at drawing." I hosted it on Waffleimages because Imagesocket was misbehaving at the time, but when I went to dredge it out of the thread awhile ago it was gone, it seems to be missing from the big collection of photoshops.


Here's where I originally posted it.

To TIME Magazine:

Your list of the Top 10 Editorial Cartoons of 2008 is an insult to editorial cartoonists, many of whom are losing their jobs to the economic downturn in the newspaper industry. In 2008 hundreds of brilliant political cartoonists produced thousands of hard-hitting, thought-provoking and hilarious cartoons about everything from the flash in the pan that was Sarah Palin to the rise of Barack Obama, and all you could come up with was this phoned-in crap?

Never in American history have so many talented artists worked in so many diverse styles using as many approaches to produce as exciting editorial cartoonists. Yet never have the political cartoons appearing in print in mainstream print media have been so bland, inane, and just plain stupid. (The good stuff appears in alternative weeklies, family-owned dailies and, of course, online.) It's a paradox, and it's hurting our profession.

It's one thing for lousy cartoons to appear in print somewhere. It's downright appalling to anoint them the best work produced by a field in a given year. Heck, even among the artists you selected, they all did much better work than the pieces you picked. How would TIME like it if someone published a list of the Top 10 Newsmagazines of 2008—and it was just a list of blogs by 16-year-olds typing in their parents' basements?

Do us a favor: If you can't find a few clean and sober editors to take the time to sort through the year's editorial cartoons, don't bother.

Very truly yours,

Ted Rall
President
Association of American Editorial Cartoonists

He's right that the cartoons they showcased were not very good, but hello pot/kettle.

The Star Tribune is in a huge world of poo poo, I wouldn't doubt this.

So their solution to compete better with national newspapers and the internet is to make themselves more generic and offer less unique/interesting content.

BTW, at this point they've only offered him a friendly buyout, and it sounds like he declined, which means he'll probably hold on for a few more weeks/months before they ask him again, only more forcefully, and if he still turns it down they'll just fire him a few weeks/months after that.

Newspapers treat their staff like members of a mob family, except without any of the benefits.

FYI: for those who arent in the big seattle circlejerk Seattle is a 2 and a half newspaper town, The Seattle PI and the Times had some bizarre sharing agreement in place. Some people just get Tacoma's News Tribune. If the times doesn't pick up Horsey he's boned, be4cause the Trib doesnt hire cartoonists.

The Times just fired their own cartoonist.

But you're crazy if you don't think Horsey will be able to get work anywhere else. He might have to move out of state, if he doesn't get enough income from his syndicated material alone, but he'll get by on his name and connections alone. He's well-enough established that the quality of his work is pretty much irrelevant.

hmm yes, because reporters don't exist outside of newspapers.

There have been several lengthy conversations in D&D about this recently, and I think they all determined that "No, for all practical intents and purposes, they don't."

The only people who seemed to disagree were ones who thought bloggers, working without pay, would fill the void.

No. They probably won't even dig down into the state level, except when desperate.
