In theory, a fruitcake should be good. It’s fruit, it’s cake, what’s not to love? In reality, it’s like mixing ammonia and bleach. The two things just don’t go together.
Certainly not me, but there are others. The internet has given exposure to a lot of cartoonists, but they need to be syndicated to be paid, and even then, they aren’t paid well. The median income for syndicated cartoonists is $42K. Many still work second jobs. Trudeau is one of the few exceptions, yet he continues to milk that cow, even though he produces no new work.
Now it’s reruns on Sunday. i wonder how the syndicators managed to sell this idea? Trudeu should do the right thing and retire until he’s ready to produce new material. This isn’t fair to the cartoonists who would love to have his spot in a newspaper.
