Dozens of Cartoonists (So Far) Stand With Ann Telnaes – Update

Editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes, late of The Washington Post, has written a note of gratitude for the support shown to her following her standing up to the WaPo’s staff trying to control her cartoon’s subject matter:

I wanted to say how much I appreciate and am sincerely touched by all your notes of support. Because I work on my own and the amount of correspondence received since Friday evening, I’m still wading through all the emails so please have patience with me. I am truly grateful for your encouraging words, the letters written to the Post which you’ve shared with me, and your articulate views about the state of our free press. Thank you also to my fellow substackers for their posts.

She also observes that, “My colleagues have been so supportive.”

They have indeed! Following the advice of Steve Brodner and the AAEC cartoonists around the world have done “a finished version of her rough and post[ed] it in solidarity with Ann.”

Below are some of the results.

  1. None of the images load when I click on their names. Would love to see them! Telnaes is one of the cartooning greats

  2. This is like at the end of “It’s a Wonderful Life” when everyone comes to the aid of George Bailey … come to think of it, Jeff Bezos is looking more and more like Mr. Potter every day.
