Doug Marlette to Tulsa World



The Tulsa World has announced the hiring of Doug Marlette to its open editorial cartoonist position. In addition to being a well-regarded and Pulitzer Prize-winning (1988) editorial cartoonist, Marlette is also a strip cartoonist and a prose author. Any movement in the editorial cartoon ranks is worth noting these days as the role of the staffed editorial cartoonist, and the decline of such positions, has become a generally controversial issue. In this case, the position became open when the World's previous cartoonist had been caught copying work from other cartoonists. Marlette was most recently at the Tallahassee Democrat. No word yet on if Democrat will replace Marlette with another staffed cartoonist.
