We sadly announce that our popular cartoon Claytoonz will be gone for a while. Earlier this month cartoonist Clay Jones suffered a stroke that has partially paralyzed his right side, which includes his drawing hand. Like many other cartoonists, Clay is a freelancer whose income is tied directly to his ability to draw cartoons. He won’t be able to work while he recovers from his stroke.
The Association of American Editorial CartoonistsThe AAEC leadership has set up a GoFundMe fundraiser for Clay to help him through his recovery and rehab. You can find the GoFundMe here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/clayjones.
In one of his last cartoons, Jones spinned his biting, left-leaning political satire on the new Trump implemented U.S. Immigration Exam. The new standards went into effect this week.
