For those keeping track…
Tulsa World fired their long-time cartoonist Dave Simpson for plagiarizing in 2005. They hired Doug Marlette in 2006, only to die in a car accident just few months ago. And now, Bruce Plante will be at the paper.
Let’s hope that this one will actually last.

Congrats Bruce! Nicely done. I was one of the top five for that position, no joke. But, it’s nice to see a talented cartoonist land that position.

I broke the story on Bruce’s departure with a story on Chattanoogan.Com, which you can access in the “Happenings” section. It was fun to scoop the Times Free Press on its own story; however, I am personally sad that Bruce is leaving. He really does have a special talent. Our loss is certainly Tulsa’s gain.
