Those are pretty great portraitures. The first time I've ever seen wiles was a couple of days ago, and I knew exactly who it was.

Ann Telnaes was a Pulitzer-prize winning editorial cartoonist at WaPo, in the before times...
In January 2025, Telnaes resigned from The Washington Post after her cartoon lampooning powerful media and technology billionaires and a corporation mascot performing obeisance before president-elect Donald Trump was rejected by opinions editor David Shipley. Included in the sketch were OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Post owner Jeff Bezos, Meta/Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg offering bags of money, Los Angeles Times publisher Patrick Soon-Shiong, and a prostrate Disney mascot Mickey Mouse (representing Disney subsidiary ABC News).[15][16][17] Shipley stated that his editorial decision was based on the piece's redundancy with other content that had recently been published by or been approved for publication in the Post.[16] His refusal to publish the cartoon was decried by the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists as "craven censorship" and "political cowardice".[18] Telnaes responded to the situation with a post to her online newsletter.[19]
