Structure
editCagle Cartoons is a "package service" where subscribing publications receive all of the content and can reprint whatever they choose for one fee. Cagle does not charge delivery fees for his service, noting digital delivery replaced the cost of mailing features years ago.[1][8]
Controversy
editIn August 2020, a cartoon spotlighting racial injustice, drawn by David Fitzsimmons of the Arizona Daily Star,[9] whose work is syndicated by Cagle Cartoons, drew controversy after it was shared to eighth-grade students by a teacher as part of an assignment to interpret the cartoon.[10] Texas Governor Greg Abbott called for the teacher to be fired.[11]
