The irony of the above post in light of the above cartoon points to the issue of conservative brain freeze. After 13 years of GOP actions seemingly aimed at destroying America, they can only point fingers to were Fox News Corp. instructs them to, between cowboy E.D. ads.

So sorry to hear about this, Jimmy. As a Record alum, it’s sad to see the ship slowly sinking. You’re right — the readers will feel the loss. We can only hope the best minds in journalism will find ways to keep quality alive as the world gets more and more digital. Keep drawing — your insights are appreciated.

I greatly appreciate the kind words and warm wishes from all those who have commented! I plan to resume drawing cartoons shortly, and was fortunate to be offered something out of the blue which I will make public as soon as I can

Really sorry to hear this, Jimmy. Enjoyed reading your exit interview. It sounds very familiar.
At The Free Lance-Star, we weren’t given any warnings either except for a couple months before the third round of layoffs they started asking for “money saving suggestions.” We all knew what that was. Funny thing is, about a year before the layoffs they held a huge party with tacos, fajitas and alcohol telling us things were looking up.
Editor of the paper called me at home. Not the editorial page editor, the big editor. I knew that was trouble. He never calls me.
My editor was on vacation when I was told and I guess I should have taken notice on the Friday before when he asked if I had any other income. When he came back his first comment was “I was afraid they were laying me off instead of you.” Nice.

Good Luck, Mr. Margulies. You are a true professional and will prosper in time. The ships are sinking fast now and there’s no reason someone as talented as you needs to go down with it anyway.
