They're mad as hell, and they're not going to take this anymore!
Editorial cartoonists from across the nation drew cartoons in protest of how many newspapers are responding to current economic conditions. Called Black Ink Monday, the 80-some cartoonists have unleashed "their biting commentary on the current state of affairs in the newspaper business, with a specific emphasis on corporate downsizing."
Like all good editorial cartoons, they cut with jagged glass, show no mercy and ring true. (They load slower than I'd like, but be patient: they're worth it.)
In the I-can-find-a-silver-lining-if-I-look-hard-enough department: We don't have to worry about cutting the position.

Drawing cartoons complaining about economic reality is like drawing cartoons complaining about gravity.

John Cole, the cartoonist under your "show no mercy" link above, is a very good friend and was canned during the downsizing at the Herald-Sun in Durham. So he knows whereof he draws.
