Picking on the Commercial Appeal used to be its own reward, back in the day when they were the big corporate Goliath and we were the little dude with a slingshot. As the paper has continued to decline, it’s become a weekly, though not entirely joyless, chore. Still, it’s good to feel appreciated. So thanks, Jim Palmer, for this cartoon inspired by Fly on the Wall’s regular “Dammit Gannett” feature.
Jim’s a first generation Memphis Flyer vet who contributed illustrations for columns by Lydel Sims. He’s the creator of Memphis’ own Li’l E and your Pesky Fly’s very favorite cartoon about the journalist’s life.
