Rob Rogers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorial cartoonist since 1984, was fired because, as former BJ cartoonist John Derf Backderf put it, “he refused to draw pro-Cheeto cartoons.”

Hillary got 75% of the Pittsburgh vote for President.

But John Robinson Block, whose family has owned the Pos-Gazette since the 1920s, and also owns the Toledo Blade, is an avid Trump supporter.

So the guy who owns the football decided who gets to stay on the team.

Ironically, Rob was curator of this 2003 national cartoon exhibition: “Too Hot to Handle: Creating Controversy Through Political Cartoons.”

In 1999 he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

He is past president of the Association of American Political Cartoonists.
