Malaysian Cartoonist Zunar Criticizes Peers; To Defy Ban

There are two great article about the embattled Malaysian cartoonist Zunar on the Free Malaysia Today web site right now: one where he directly criticizes his peers for picking and choosing the subjects of their satirical jabs according to who has a scary police force and who doesn't; another where he proclaims he will deny a ban on political cartooning during the forthcoming election season. Both articles are spirited and contentious; each is well-worth a full read. In fact, the more people that pay attention to the cartoonist's struggle for free expression the less he may be at risk in all the ways a cartoonist working in isolation can be at risk.
