The Washington Post recently ran a story on a group of syndicated cartoonists who planned a protest for today. They targeted newspaper editors who choose not to syndicate one strip created by or featuring minorities because they're already publishing another strip -- often just one strip that meets that "diversity demand." The cartoonists drew strips with similar plot lines -- all of which involve an older, white character lamenting the appearance of "politically correct" minority-drawn strips on the comics page.
I, among others, decided to participate as well. Be sure to check out all the comics from all the cartoonists!

Re: The 'Cartoonists of Color' Protest
Is this a thing going on right now? or something that happened a few days ago? I would gladly include my strip in this, had I known about it.

Re: The 'Cartoonists of Color' Protest
ok, so after READING your post a little more clearly I see it was planned for Feb 10th.
Damn my eyes!
