The hardworking staff received this response after we wondered why Ward Sutton’s Tea Party cartoon did not appear in yesterday’s Boston Globe and, in a rare burst of activity, emailed him:

Thanks for the concern and your email. I’m happy to say that the piece will be running – it just got postponed. I believe it will be running next week instead. I’m really excited about this piece – the editors have been incredibly supportive and enthusiastic about it. I don’t want to give anything away before it’s in print, but I hope readers enjoy it.
Cheers,
Ward

Okay. Chalk one up for actual fact-gathering.
