Marlette leaving PNJ

   September 2, 2022

This morning, cartoonist and weekly columnist Andy Marlette announced that he is leaving the Pensacola News Journal to focus on his family and cartoon strip. He will also produce syndicated editorial cartoons – “insulting the sanctimonious sensitivities of folks who take themselves far too seriously.”

He writes in his column that will appear in print on Sunday:  “And it’s been fun. But the time and opportunity has finally come to go rogue and pursue other long-held artistic interests.”

You can find his farewell column on pnj.com.

UPDATE: From website The Daily Cartoonist:
It appears Andy Marlette, the last staff editorial cartoonist for a Gannett newspaper, has left his position at The Pensacola News Journal.

The Andy Marlette page at PNJ.com seems to indicate that the cartoonist no longer is on staff at The Pensacola News Journal.

The latest Marlette cartoon at Creators Syndicate no longer carries Pensacola News Journal as part of the signature credit.

2022 marked 15 years of Andy being part of The News Journal staff as graphic artist, illustrator, columnist and editorial cartoonist.
