Don’t always agree with a political cartoonist even though the cartoon may be clever, but it no different than an editorial.If management has a set ‘can and cannot’ subjects the employee has two choices, follow the rules or leave. The papers’ owner had a right to fire but it was not handled very ethically. And, the cartoon got a lot more publicity along with Mr. De Adder, than a quiet dismissal.
There was a very famous political cartoonist in the Viet Nam/Nixon era that worked for the LA Times. He probably would have lasted a second at that paper. As it was he won several Pulitzer prizes during his long career.

De Adder never even submitted the images for publication to the newspaper. He posted them on Facebook and Twitter.
Great tribute, Mr. Cavna, well done.

And winning Pulitzer Prizes didn’t save their jobs.
