Editorial Cartoonist Update: Markstein Takes Buyout; Davies Speaks

* Gary Markstein has taken a buyout offered to members of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, says Daryl Cagle at his high-traffic editorial cartooning blog. As the article explains, the also-syndicated strip cartoonist was actually in the design department of that paper, which should allow a smooth transition to the full-time freelance world.

* Alan Gardner of The Daily Cartoonist talks to a still slightly stunned-sounding Matt Davies about the Pulitzer Prize-winner's future plans and the nature and shape of his being let go from his Gannett paper job. Gardner asks a great question that wouldn't have occurred to me: if there was any chance Davies might be hired by the parent corporation as a cartoonist for all its papers, the same way that Hearst hired David Horsey when the Seattle PI was shuttered. The answer is straightforward and kind of heartbreaking for it.
