    Justice for Cartoon Jonny Rotsztain!
    One man's quest to get his comics about the Metro newspaper into the Metro newspaper.
    Kevin Sexton
    Producer

    Jonathan Rotsztain distributes newspapers for Metro Toronto, and makes comics about it. His goal is to get his comics about the Metro printed in the Metro, so that he can have the pleasure of distributing his own artwork on the job.

    With your help, we can achieve this goal together. 

    Tweet @metrotoronto with the hashtag #hurtjae and demand that they publish Jonathan’s metro comics! Follow @jrotszta on Instagram and tag @metronewsca in the comments!

    Look at Jonathan’s website!
