/threadDid a Google search on the image and found this article. Apparently he wasn't fired; he was a freelancer. He didn't even submit this cartoon to the client.
>> He later clarified that he had technically been under contract to work for Brunswick News Inc., and wasn't an employee who could be fired.So this idea that he was fired for this cartoon is fantasy. Sorry, fake news.
Brunswick News Inc. responded in a statement on Sunday that "it is entirely incorrect to suggest" that it canceled a freelance contract with de Adder over the Trump cartoon.
"This is a false narrative which has emerged carelessly and recklessly on social media," the publishing company wrote. It said that de Adder never offered the Trump cartoon to the company and had already decided to "bring back" another cartoonist it said was popular with readers. "[N]egotiations had been ongoing for weeks," it stated. ,<<
