Political cartoons

Not exactly a political cartoon, but:

Jazz musician Bob Dorough, known for his work on "Schoolhouse Rock!," just died at age 94. Here is one of my favorites:

I'm Just a Bill

Yes. I would consider it a political cartoon. But a truthful one. Loved "Schoolhouse Rock" and "I'm Just a Bill". RIP Bob Dorough.

I used to sing "I'm Just a Bill" w/my kids when they were toddlers. :(

Rob Rogers, a 25-year Post-Gazette veteran,
hasn’t appeared in the newspaper since May 24,
making for six consecutive ‘toons killed.

The paper has been mum on what’s up and Keith Burris—
editorial director of the Post-Gazette and its sister newspaper,
the Toledo Blade—has not responded to my request for comment.

The left-leaning Rogers has nevertheless been posting his recent work on social media.

Rob Rogers has been censored.

The newspaper has decided that calling out racism is racist,
and Thou Shalt Not Be Critical of The Great and Powerful Wizard
of....ummmmm

Stephen Spolar, chief human resources officer
for the Post-Gazette, declined to comment on
Rogers' firing, saying the newspaper
"does not provide details about employment matters."

The statement continued, "in light of Mr Rogers'
public comments today, we do want to acknowledge
his long service to the newspaper and our community.
Any further discussions will be conducted with Mr. Rogers
as a private matter."

A spokeswoman for the newspaper declined to comment
about why Rogers' cartoons were withheld from publication.

Things changed, Rogers said, when Block Communications,
the paper's parent company, appointed Keith Burris as editor,
vice president and editorial director in early March.

Burris became Rogers direct boss and started to shoot
down the cartoonist's ideas multiple times in a day.

The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists's board also
linked Burris, who they called "Trump-supporting," to Rogers'
cartoons being held from the paper.

"We would take this opportunity to remind all editorial page
editors that their responsibility is to the readers
(among whom in Pittsburgh, Rogers cartoons are wildly popular)
and to the open and ongoing search for truth in contending opinions,"
the board said in a statement. "The editorial pages are a public forum,
not a members-only private resort in Florida."

Rogers said in recent years the Post-Gazette's editorial
pages have become more conservative, adding that in
2015 the newspaper's publisher John Block
"became sort of enamored" with Trump.

Block later took a photo with then-candidate Trump
in 2016 and posted it on Facebook as reporters
expressed concern about what would happen to
the paper's credibility if it endorsed the real estate
mogul, according to the Pittsburgh City Paper.
