Former 'Washington Times' Editorial Cartoonist Opens Up About Job Loss

By: E&P Staff Bill Garner, former editorial cartoonist for The Washington Times, opens up about his recent downsizing on ?Tornoe?s Cartoon News,? cartoonist Rob Tornoe?s blog on Daryl Cagle?s Political Cartoonists Index Web site.

Garner, who spent more than 20 years at the Washington Times, says of his former bosses, ?They were talking hot air up my ass for months when they knew all along they were going to be shoving me through the door.?

He claims management brought in ?professional headhunters? to help pare staffers, and says of his unexpected exit, ?I understand completely, and there are no bad feeling about the situation because it?s a business, that?s the way it goes."
