‘I’m hoping I can encourage papers to think twice about firing their cartoonists’: de Adder’s axing underscores perils editorial cartoonists face in shrinking field, say industry reps

Amid international uproar over Mr. de Adder’s firing, Brunswick News Inc. issued a second statement on Tuesday evening, doubling down on its defence that the move wasn’t linked to the viral cartoon.

His pointed critique of U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration policy has become an international sensation after his contract with longtime client Brunswick News was terminated. Mr. de Adder think it's no coincidence he was let go in the wake of the cartoon going viral, but the company says there's no link and that it had planned to replace him weeks ago.
