Go, Read: Daily Cartoonist on Paul Fell

I think Alan Gardner at Daily Cartoonist did a nice job summarizing a story about a freelance cartoonist losing his job for comments made about his donation to a friend running for office, so I urge you to read it there. That a newspaper would apply its ethics code to freelancers seems to me a really debatable policy. For one thing, I don't know how the heck they would assure this for every freelancer that they might want to run without a vetting process that would make impossible the prompt use of individual pieces. Gardner also catches that the main point of contention between the cartoonist Paul Fell and the paper seems to be low pay rates as much as anything.
