👀​ Canada's premier political cartoonist Michael deAdder is pushing back..

"I'm sick of these tactics. I see journalists [& cartoonists] bullied by the right. Conservatives are bullying their way into power."

"When I draw a cartoon you don't realize that I've drawn almost the same number of Liberal cartoons. I've probably drawn more Liberal than Conservative because they are in power. You just see the Conservative cartoons and cry unfair."

Looks like Canadian cartoonist Michael deAdder cut too close to the bone for American conservatives as well. He has been let go from the Washington Post.

    @thepoliticalcat How does it feel to be in a minuscule minority? @gemelliz

    I've read your posts before, so I was a bit confused. It seemed dissonant.
    Thanks for the clarification.

    From my POV, Michael DeAdder is a national treasure.

    WOW!!! That's disgusting. @wapo should be ashamed!
    But Michael deAdder needs to get himself to Mastodon. We miss him.

    @gemelliz I generally imagine her behind him, with her hand up… Puppeting him like the Dummy he is.

    @gemelliz A realistic and truthful image that says several 1000 words. And my condolences to Mr. deAdder!

    @gemelliz the 'cyrillic' N is a nice touch

    oclsc,
    @oclsc@mstdn.ca avatar

    @luciedigitalni @gemelliz A Cyrillic N would be H. In Cyrillic that character is a vowel, corresponding to English long E. I suspect it's meant to convey childish illiteracy rather than Putiphilia.

    luciedigitalni,
    @luciedigitalni@aus.social avatar

    @oclsc @gemelliz I think it's being used to convey both meanings, which is why I thought it worthy of comment

    @dannotdaniel @deAdder

    Hopefully! - he's missing a huge fan club over here :)

    @gemelliz DeAdder is the modern-day Nast.

    @gemelliz He was dismissed from paper in Canada in 2019, but he is still (just checked) on Washington Post. I'm a fan, so will always help distribute his cartoons. But I'm unaware of any recent dismissal. Has there been?

    @6G @gemelliz Isn't the world he wants us all to live in the one where he'd be lynched for violating a white woman? Let alone CRIMINALLY MARRYING her? What is WRONG with that dismal asshole?
