Misinformation
This is an early preview. Do not share on social media until tomorrow.
This is my cartoon for Saturday’s Globe and Mail, the last Canadian publication where I still have a regular cartoon deadline. Please don’t share it until tomorrow—the newspaper has the exclusive right to reveal it first.
Moving forward, I’ll be offering more content specifically for paid subscribers, things I won’t be sharing with non-subscribers. However, this week I felt it was important for my posts and comments to remain public. And half of what I do won’t have a paywall.
My plan, if I ever achieve newspaper independence will be to reduce the fee for joining Substack so I can be more affordable to average people. I’d rather have more people paying less than fewer people paying more. But I have to achieve newspaper independence first. That could take time.
Newspaper independence doesn’t mean I will stop working for newspapers. It means I won’t depend on them for a career.
[Cartoon note: Donald Trump’s relentless spread of lies about hurricane relief is beyond embarrassing. It’s humiliating for anyone who continues to support him. If these falsehoods haven’t already led to needless deaths, they soon will.]
Bless you.
I’ve said this before but it’s a real shame that political cartoonists are targeted. When and if newspapers are able to regain their autonomy from hedge fund owners (big IF), I’ll look forward to seeing your toons in 18 pt.
