Go, Read: Lengthy Profile Of Rick Friday

Here. Includes video. Friday was the cartoonist fired from Farm News after an advertiser complained about a cartoon tweaking the humongous and disproportional profits that defines the agricultural sector -- and so many others -- these days. This is the longest account I've seen, ropes in the editor directly supervising Friday, and lets us know that Monsanto wasn't offended.

I hope Friday ends up back at Farm News, having proven to its readers his baseline integrity when it comes to addressing topics that might need his voice on their side. It sounds like there may be a path for him to do so.
