Another Cartoonist Loses Staff Position

image

This time it's Thomas "TAB" Boldt, cartoonist for the Sun Media papers in Canada -- specifically the Calgary Sun. Unlike some of the recent staff position cuts, Boldt had been in his current job for less than a decade, although I think from looking at the cartoonist's picture and guessing at his age he may have been working in the field before that -- I'm terribly, terribly unfamiliar with most Canadian newspaper cartoonists. Not that noting the relative length of time Boldt's had his current position compared to some other eliminated job makes it any less a potentially miserable day for Boldt, or any more alarming in terms of the continued losses in North American newspaper for these kinds of positions. Three other cartoonists working for the chain were retained.
