Pulitzer Prize-winning and Washington Post News Service & Syndicate cartoonist Nick Anderson writes on CNN.com about the Rob Rogers’ firing.

From the article:

But what’s missing from the situation is the outrage for the quiet firing of over 100 cartoonists around the country over the past few decades. The generally accepted number by the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists is that there were about 180 staff cartoonists three decades ago. Now there are fewer than a couple dozen. My state, Texas — the second-largest in the Union — doesn’t have a single full-time cartoonist.
