A Daryl Cagle cartoon which depicted the eagle on the Mexican flag, shot dead in a hail of bullets, created a stir when it ran on the front pages of Mexican newspapers, leading the Mexican Embassy to the USA to make a formal response to msnbc.com.[1][2]
Cagle publishes iPhone, Android and iPad apps, including one with cartoons about Tiger Woods which made news when it was rejected by Apple Inc., because of Apple's policy of not allowing apps that ridicule public figures.[3]
In 2001, Cagle started Cagle Cartoons, Inc, a political cartoon and column syndicate which distributes the work of newspaper editorial cartoonists and columnists from around the world to approximately 850 subscribing newspapers. Cagle Cartoons is a "package service" where subscribing publications receive all of the content and can reprint whatever they choose.
