Cartoon FRAUD!

This comes to us from CagleCartoonist Bob Englehart. There’s a scam going around targeting cartoonists!

A person (In my case she was “Juliet Simon”) will contact you, the cartoonist, and offer you a freelance assignment. The fee they’ll pay is about three times the usual; they want all rights. They’ll tell you the project is in two phases.

Then, they’ll send you a check for twice what you thought. They’ll pay you in advance. After you cash the check, they’ll tell you Phase Two has been cancelled and you have to return half of the fee. That’s the sting. There’s no project.

I got a check from a heating and air conditioning company in California, so I went online to get their information and the owner of the company said he’s gotten about 10 calls from cartoonists. He explained his checking account was hacked and the check is no good. I had drawn four cartoons when the smell of a rat was too strong, so I did my investigative reporting, talked to my banker and called the company in California.

The cartoons I drew are included here so help yourself if you want to use them. I got the inquiry through the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, so that gave it legitimacy. The old adage still stands: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Trust your instincts. I should’ve investigated before I started drawing, but at least I’m not out of any money. So, my fellow cartoonists, enjoy the cartoons and beware!

Pandemic of the Unvaccinated

Here’s my new COVID cartoon. The idea is that either side can win, depending on whose turn is next.

Also notice that for vaccine to win will take two moves, but COVID could win in one move … and there is still the possibility of a tie.

The potent new Delta Variant has created a tragedy in Red States where it combined with anti-vaxxers, COVID deniers, conspiracy theorists and nutty Republicans who see vaccine defiance as patriotism.

Here are some of my “Pandemic of the Unvaccinated,” Republican Anti-Vaxxer favorites from CagleCartoonists Pat Bagley of the Salt Lake Tribune and John Darkow of the Columbia Missourian.

Our Cartoonist Osama Hajjaj Faces Possible Trial and Prison

Our CagleCartoonist and friend, Jordanian cartoonist Osama Hajjaj, faces a possible trial and prison term, of one to three years, for drawing the cartoon below. Osama pleaded “not guilty” in a court hearing yesterday.

According to Cartooning for Peace …

“The cartoon was broadcast by the private television channel Roya TV and then deleted after they and the cartoonist received many negative comments. Taking into account the reactions, the cartoonist immediately explained on his Facebook page that it was a misunderstanding and that his cartoon dealt with birth control from a social perspective and not with religion. He was also notified of a complaint filed by two lawyers which led to legal proceedings under Article 150 of the Penal Code and Article 15 of the Cybercrime Act.

Article (150) of the Penal Code states that: “Any writing or speech aims at or results in stirring sectarian or racial prejudices or the incitement of conflict between different sects or the nation’s elements, such act shall be punished by imprisonment for no less than one year and no more than three years and a fine not to exceed two hundred dinars (200 JD).”

Article (15) of the Cybercrime Act states: “Whoever commits any crime punishable under any applicable legislation by using the information network or any information system or website, or participating in, interfering or inciting to commit it, shall be punished with the penalty stipulated in that legislation.”

Osama Hajjaj, who was accompanied by his lawyer, emerged from the hearing free. He is subject to a travel ban and he is awaiting the verdict of the investigation conducted by the Ministry of Public Affairs, which will determine the possibility of a trial. He faces from one to three years in prison and a fine of JD 200 (EUR 236).

Cartooning for Peace expresses his solidarity with Osama and will be following the investigation. It calls for all charges to be dropped, considering that the cartoonist stated in good faith that he did not want to offend his country’s religion.”

Osama writes on his Facebook page:

Today I represented in front of the Prosecutor General of Oman in a case that was stirred because of a caricature drawing about birth control. I did not intend to offend at all. I was charged with violation of Article 150 of the Penal Code (inciting women) and violation of the electronic crime law… And here I thank the fair and honest judiciary for understanding freedom of opinion and expression and that I am not a criminal and I did not mean to offend in drawing and I thank lawyer Marwan Salem.

Comments on social media have been harsh, with some readers urging that Osama be jailed for the cartoon. Last year Osama received credible death threats and an outpouring of hate for another cartoon showing the beach and a woman wearing traditional Islamic dress …

Osama’s CagleCartoonist, big brother, Emad Hajjaj, was arrested and imprisoned last year in Jordan on the charge of drawing a cartoon that insulted an Arab country. Emad still faces trial.

Jordan claims to have a free press. A nation is free only when its cartoonists are free.
