He began his professional career at the San Diego Union Tribune, and moved to the New Orleans Times-Picayune in 2002[1] after an incident that began when Kelley submitted a cartoon to his editors in which the scene depicted two teenagers wearing baggy low-cut pants that did not completely cover their buttocks.[2]
