>>87192825He is, that doesn't mean that e.g. the dog sitting in the burning house going "this is fine" is something United Press Syndicate would want to put on the funny page.
(In fact, SJW shit would turn off the older, conservative readers who are the majority of subscribers to most newspapers, so it's a negative for getting syndication.)
If you want to talk about a guy who could've been a newspaper cartoonist and decided against it, try Scott Kurtz. He actually aimed for the funny pages for a long time IIRC, until he realized it was an economic and creative fuck and became a vocal opponent of it instead. He had some controversies with syndicated cartoonists back in the webcomics stone age, as I recall.
