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.
