Cartoonists of Color Stage Newspaper Protest

HeadlineFeb 08, 2008

And in media news, eleven newspaper cartoonists are planning to stage a protest Sunday to demand cartoonists of color be given a greater presence in newspapers.
The creators of “Candorville,” “Watch Your Head” and nine other cartoons are planning to essentially draw the same comic strip for Sunday’s newspapers to highlight how many papers view all cartoons drawn by people of color as interchangeable.
