...In partial , anyway , defense of the Voice/Weekly Media , the version of the srticle I read did say , in the text of the article itself , that the Voice had gotten the interior illustrations in the piece ( The cover as well ? ) by laying the old " No money , but think of the exposure ! " riff upon the artists , comments upon the article also saying this . Did the artists , then , keep 100% rights to the drawing & to the physical original art , anyway ?
You mean what the present-day Voice pays for their regular strips & illos , assuming they still have some , Travis ?
Good article, albeit depressing. Nothing I haven't seen before, but it's still a good reality check.
What he said. I remember that Jules Pfeiffer had worked for The Village Voice for years, and they eventually cut him -- but still picked up his cartoons from a syndicate because it was cheaper that way!
