The news about the firing of former Paramount Film Group chief John Lesher broke on the afternoon of Friday, 6.19. Four days later Arthur-the-Deadline Hollywood Daily-cartoonist completed a cartoon that depicted Lesher’s fate. Nine days later or 13 days after the whacking — yesterday, in other words — the cartoon appeared on DHD. Worse, it used a future-tense caption — “There Will Be Blood.” Obviously if it had run a day or two before the Lesher firing….whatever. But it’s decently done.
