Her cartoon, showing #JeffBezos and others paying #convictedFelon #DonaldTrump for favor, was rejected for being critical of #WaPo's owner.

#AnnTelnaes received much support for quitting #WashingtonPost after her political cartoon was rejected for criticizing #JeffBezos' support of #convictedFelon #DonaldTrump. Bezos is the #WaPo owner.

She wrote…

"My wonderful colleague Steve Brodner suggested that other cartoonists create their own version of the killed cartoon, which I’ve included a few below (more to come; please send me yours)."

Steve Brodner's cartoon is shown here.

Steve Brodner's version of Ann Telnaes' cartoon rejected by the Washington Post. To the left is written "(After Ann Telnaes' spiked art for the Washington Post)". In the center, Jeff Bezos, the Walt Disney Co., Elon Musk, and others are shown offering large sacks of money to convicted felon Donald Trump, who is represented by a mostly faceless figure except for a gaping maw of a mouth with protruding tongue. The only other identifying features are bad hair, comically extremely long necktie, and stumpy legs below a huge belly.
