Brian Duffy To Fight Des Moines Register Over His Editorial Cartoons

image

I liked the Editor & Publisher write-up the best of what I've read about fired editorial cartoonist Brian Duffy preparing to go to battle with former employer the Des Moines Register over his body of work while at the paper. Duffy believes he holds a joint copyright; the Register seems to feel it owns staff work it paid for. Apparently, the paper wants to donate Duffy's originals to the University of Iowa, and it seems like Duffy has less a problem with the destination than the mechanism by which they arrive there.
