Go, Read: Cartoons In Iran During The Election Season
There's a nice wire article making the rounds
here about the uncertainty that editors in Iran are facing concerning the publication of editorial cartoons during Iran's current election. A couple of things pop here for me. One is that that the bulk of people that are quoted in the article seem young to me, which is encouraging. Another is the general idea driving the article fascinates: the idea that certain political issues are too sensitive to engage right now, and that this is usually not the case. Iran's recent history regarding its cartoonists seems resolutely horrible to me, including the jailing of some cartoonists and others fleeing the country entirely.
