As you may recall, the cartoonist Rick Friday was let go from Farm News in May after a single advertiser complained about the political nature of a cartoon. Friday gained national and I believe some international attention for the stand that cost him the gig. As many expected at the time, the cartoonist and the publication have worked out their differences and Friday's work returned to the publication late last week. We wish them all the luck in the world moving forward; it's ludicrous that Friday had to spend any time away from the newspaper in the first place.
