Cartoonists Fighting For Rights in Nepal
One of the issues we're tracking here is a worldwide assault on the editorial cartoon -- here in North America by a growing, casual intolerance for differing views and a capitalist straitjacket that sees controversy solely in terms of canceled subscriptions, and in a sweep of countries from Africa to Asia by overtly repressive laws and the threat of defamation lawsuits filed by government officials. It's nice, then, to
read about cartoonists standing firm and becoming a rallying point against such measures, as with these Nepalese cartoonists. Note the scary phrase "military 'guest editor'".
