David Cohen feels honored to serve the citizens of Asheville, North Carolina as the editorial cartoonist for local issues. Today he took a few inches to thank them for their forbearance.
In the early 80s I submitted some work to the then editorial page editor, Rick Gunter. He took a few, and for about a month I was the paper’s cartoonist!
Obviously, that didn’t last very long.
It wasn’t until 2006 that I tried again. I submitted some more work to the editorial board, which included Jim Buchanan, Jeffery Green, and Susan Yehne. They decided, after a brief negotiation, to give it a try.
The Daily Cartoonist is one of the fastest growing community and news blogs for professional cartoonists. Publication focuses on newspaper cartooning (comic strips and editorial cartooning), webcomics, movies and animation, and magazine gag cartoonists. TDC is published Monday through Friday (and occasionally on the weekends).
Former UFC champion Pat Miletich was removed from his LFA 97 broadcast duties after he participated in the Washington DC protests that led to the United States Capitol being locked down.
At least five people died in relation to the incident. Several law enforcement officials also resigned, were fired, or are under investigation, and there are calls for U.S. President Donald Trump to resign or be removed from office.
Miletich, also a UFC Hall of Fame member, has provided commentary for the LFA for several years. But after he marched to the Capitol building following a rally by President Trump, he says the LFA was getting pressure to fire him.
