Clay Jones cartoon on Rachel Maddow's show
Rachel Maddow used a cartoon by Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star cartoonist Clay Jones on her tv show. She took Jones' cartoon, which showed a teacher lecturing Presidents Obama and Bush on foreign policy, and riffed on "the Beltway media's distorted perspective on the killing of Osama bin Laden."
I asked Jones about it, and he said, "The funny thing is, my editor passed over this cartoon so it didn't run in our print edition... but it did make my blog and was distributed by my syndicate, Creators."

Well I found out that I didn't win the Cartoonist Studio contest. In spite of that, it was a fun ride and I really appreciate your support and interest. I was fortunate to make it all the way to the end which made it that much more enjoyable.
