Austin Beutner, the billionaire M&A king who probably ordered my firing as editorial cartoonist of The Los Angeles Times, has been dismissed by Tribune Publishing, the Times’ parent company.
Mainstream media reports attribute the reason for Beutner’s firing to a “culture clash” between Tribune’s desire for centralized corporate control and his preference to run things from SoCal.

Well done, Ted !!!
Well – I guess this billionaire is really feeling bad now, huh? I’d guess he can just pack up his yachts and billions and just go home with his tail between his luxury items. S0 – finally there has been a result from your protests against the obviously ridiculous reason for your firing. To tell you the truth, I wouldn’t want to be re-instated as a cartoonist for the Times – they have already proven over and over that they are just a part of the problem. Losers, as The Donald would say – Big Losers and Weak!
Times wounds all heels!
😀
Buh-bye, Austin! Let’s hope the new boss isn’t the same as the old boss!
Regardless, we won’t get fooled again!
