Plagiarism costs cartoonist his job--again

Editorial cartoonist David Simpson was fired from his staff job in 2005 at Tulsa World for plagiarizing a cartoon. Now he's out of his job at Urban Tulsa Weekly for two straight weeks of publishing traced cartoons from the late Jeff MacNelly.

The Washington Post's Comic Riffs blog has an article about on David Simpson's career in plagiarism. Daily Cartoonist wrote about the latest case last week, with damning side by sides of the cartoons in question.
