‘No qualified candidates need apply’

Phil Fountain’s inspiration for today’s cartoon comes from the Sept. 10 Shasta County Board of Supervisor’s majority’s decision to bypass the appointment of the most qualified person as the new Director of the county’s Resource Management department, and instead hire a former employee who worked for out-of-state millionaire Reverge Anselmo, who lost a lengthy court battle against Shasta County, and has said he wants to destroy the Resource Management department.

Phil Fountain

Phil Fountain is a pseudonym for ANC’s prodigal cartoonist, Philbert Phountain, who has recently returned from a working hiatus where he served as the lead fact-checker for George Santos. He lives in Shasta County with his long-suffering wife, Christine, as well as a variety of layabouts and urchins who claim to be his progeny … including three grandchildren. He busies himself with his crayons and obsessing over the fate of his favorite baseball team while a small dog sleeps under his desk. He’s actually not such a bad guy as evidenced by the fact the dog rarely bites him anymore. Look for his crudely rendered drawings in future posts on A News Café.
