Last weekend, allegations surfaced regarding comic creator Ed Piskor and his behavior towards numerous women. There are multiple claims with screenshots provided. You can read the full scoop here. Piskor himself has been rather silent on the topic (with maybe a burner account going on the attack). We’ve reach out for comment and have not heard a word. His often collaborator Jim Rugg has spoken out, ending his working relationship with Piskor.
Rugg has worked on comics with Piskor as well as co-hosts the popular Cartoonist Kayfabe. The statement was posted on Rugg’s Instagram account and you can read it below.
In light of this past week’s shocking revelations, I find it necessary to reevaluate my professional associations to ensure they align with my values of respect and integrity. Therefore, I have ended my working relationship with Ed Piskor.
