Dwayne Powell Resigns Rather Than Take Part-Time, Limited Position



While it seems overly grim to note every single job status change of an editorial cartoonist in North American the moment they happen, it's worth noting that there are definitely more astronauts than fully employed editorial cartoonists at this point -- heck, there may be more NHL goalies than staff cartoonists by now -- so every loss is keenly felt. The latest news is that Dwayne Powell, a 33-year veteran of the Raleigh News & Observer, has resigned rather than take on a reduced role limited to local-issues cartooning. Apparently, that will take place mid-August. Editor & Publisher has noticed the general story, and notes that Pat Crowley was on a recently-published Palm Beach Post list of cuts that was noted here and elsewhere for its inclusion of Don Wright.
