I lost my job at the Honolulu Star-Bulletin during the March 2001 changeover from the “old” to the “new” Star-Bulletin when it was purchased by Canadian publisher David Black. I won’t tell that tale here, except to say that our cartoonist, Corky Trinidad, drew caricatures of those who were not making the move. This is the one he did for me.
It was signed by a number of the newspaper’s staff at the time. If you click for a larger version, you can read much of what was written.

Corky Trinidad’s family loaned some of his best for an exhibit at Spalding House in early 2016. If you don’t plan to keep it, you might want to add to the family’s collection and donate it to them.
