Cartoonist set to replace de Adder quits, says he 'wouldn't wish this on anyone'
Greg Perry says social media backlash has 'destroyed' his character and cartoons

The cartoonist who was set to replace Michael de Adder at Brunswick News Inc. says he no longer wants to work for the company and asked that his cartoons be kept off the editorial pages of its newspapers.
In a statement to CBC News, Greg Perry said the social media backlash after BNI parted ways with de Adder, then used his name in statements about the decision, has taken a toll.
"I don't use social media, but person/persons who do have used it to essentially destroy my character and my cartoon work.
"All this over a job that pays the same per month as a job at a grocery chain. I wouldn't wish this on anyone."
