Go, Read: Guardian Piece On Cartooning In Egypt

This piece in The Guardian about the difficulties of cartooning in Egypt in the current political climate repeats some of the information we've already heard on the issue of opposing points of view not being particularly desirable right now. I thought this article did a better job than most at presenting the social pressures involved. It's one thing to push back against an outside force or even an enforcer, but negotiating daily life where there's an element in culture that sees opposing views as something broken rather than something expected, that has to be extremely tricky to negotiate.

The satirical magazine TokTok is a fine thing to follow via social media, as you may be convinced by the article.
