Ted Rall Laid Off By United Media

The cartoonist, writer and editor Ted Rall has announced he's been laid off from his acquisitions editor position at United Media. He'd held the position since 2006. He runs through the strips he helped launch in the post through the above link. You also get his take on them. I'd say that the R Stevens signing was significant, as was that cartoonist's decision to return to the Internet full-time. My hunch is that the Keith Knight project The Knight Life is probably the feature that's performed the best in terms of exceeding initial expectations, but that entails a massive assumption or two on my part as to how it's doing reverse-engineered from PR-driven press. Anyway, Rall certainly increased the breadth in terms of kinds of people to which one could pitch, and I'm sad to see him go.
