February 10th Black Cartoonists' National Protest

Don't forget on 2/10/8 black & other minority cartoonists, and syndicated ones will participate in a protest, where they will all draw the same comic strip with their own personal style added. The "protest" will be symbolic, because it will be seen as a jab back at newspaper decision makers and readers who treat them all as being the same. Read our related post and go to syndicated cartoonist Darrin Bell's Candorvile site. Bias even affects a cartoonist's career.

Suggestions from Darrin's site to help increase minority cartoonist representation in publications:

Write to your local newspaper or favorite website portal. Papers and websites depend on reader feedback to figure out which comics you want to read. You can help Candorville out by writing to your local paper and asking them to add it (or thanking them for running it, if Candorville’s already on their comics page), or voting for it (and getting everyone you’ve ever heard of to vote for it) when your paper runs its comic polls.
