Andy Marlette, the PNJ and parent company Gannett are cashing in on their PNJ cartoonist's newfound "fame" with the publication of his syndicated cartoon shrimp and grits. He is making the company money---but is it moral and ethical for him to use the "N-word" in cartoons? What about his despicable, dehumanizing and misogynistic attack cartoon focused on a female employee of Governor Ron DeSantis---with the intent of attacking the governor through his female employee? The cartoonist loves to make accusations about members of the Board of County Commissioners' retirement programs--but at least our programs are legal as outlined in state statutes. And they are moral and ethical---unlike some of the histrionics from Gannett and PNJ via cartoonist Andy Marlette. And Gannett stands by while these transgressions occur by liberal, white, progressive and privileged Andy Marlette--who spent the last 5 years doing some of the most disgusting portrayals of our former president in the country. Meanwhile, conservative cartoonist Bruce Tinsley's Mallard Fillmore does a couple of zingers directed at our new President, Joe Biden, and BOOM--he gets IMMEDIATELY Cancelled--with his syndicated cartoon being deplatformed in the Gannett publications. Talk about double standards, feigned outrage over "morals and ethics" and rank hypocrisy. These folks are the worst of the worst.
