Fallout from syndicated cartoon controversy [UPDATED]

Fallout grew from a decision to run a syndicated cartoon by AAEC Member Tom Stiglich in Missouri newspaper: two owners of a family-run business ran an apology for publishing the cartoon — and later resigned — and the syndicate pulled the cartoon from circulation. The Daily Cartoonist is following the story:

Here’s the original apology:

UPDATE: The story goes national, as the publisher at the paper apologizes and resigns, and the cartoonist himself scrubs the cartoon from his site.
