Labor Day update — Robert Ariail laid off. Again.

 

In an email following up on his entry in this year's Rex Babin Memorial Award for Excellence in Local Cartooning, Robert Ariail noted he had been let go from his long-time newspaper The State in June. This was the second time the cartoonist had been laid off from the South Carolina paper for budgetary reasons, having been rehired back a few years ago at a reduced salary.

Apparently even that was too much for the bean counters.
