Forattini Dropped By La Stampa Giorgio Forattini, the controversial, high-profile and apparently extremely well-paid cartoonist, has been let out of his contract with the publication La Stampa, home of Comics Reporter fave Guido Tiberga, five years after signing up with them. According to the article to which I've linked, the straw that broke the camel's back was a comic depicting the baby Jesus in a manger wondering if marauding Israeli tanks had appeared to kill him again (italics and groaning noise mine). The article speculates that the cartoonist may resurface at a right-wing publication, I think maybe this is it. Please note the cartoonist's incredibly classy comment on his time at the paper.
