Default What about Klyde Morris?

KM runs on ANN becasue, basically, there aren't that many outlets for
aviation comic strips around. KM used to run on AvWeb, but Wes and AvWeb
had a falling out a few years ago. You can read the story of the blow up
on http://www.klydemorris.com/



I would have fired him, too.

There should be some elasticity on both sides. Run the [unedited] strip in
a week or two. Management demonstrated a [repeated] willingness to be
flexible in the face of unusual circumstances - KM did not.

He created an all or nothing situation too early in the process, IMHO.
Gone ...nothing.

Yep, he escalated the situation faster than pouring 100LL on a campfire.
However, given that AvWeb transitioned from funny, irreverant, and
informative to Informative and not much else, I don't think the cartoon
would have lasted long anyway.

I still read AvWeb, but liked the old version much better...
