   I’m a big fan of his work. If that happens, hopefully an editor out there will be smart enough to pick him up. He should be syndicated if he isn’t already. Good Luck,Patrick

   Didn’t Patrick have to dodge this bullet before? Good luck Pat.

   â??I think Iâ??ll be live blogging my firing.â?

   The web sure is providing cartoonists with an exciting future–as has long been predicted. Since we can’t make any money off of it, at least the news of our careers being over can go out in real time and be permalinked, texted, and vlogged before we clear out the desk drawer.

   I believe that’s how William Buckley found out he was dead…the grim reaper blogged it. Oops! used the grim reaper cliche…don’t want to end up on the Bad Cartoonist again

   Talked to him earlier today and his job was saved…at least until the next round of cutbacks.

6. Steve Greenberg

   That was a close call… expectations were that he was going to be cut. He’s been really hitting his stride lately in L.A., too, and he’s the only cartoonist really keeping Mayor Villaraigosa’s feet to the fire.

   Congratulations, Patrick!
   From someone who’s been on the other side of that situation, always have a Plan B.

   It’s good to see your beancounters value the work of their editorial cartoonist.
