Not Comics: Zunar Savages Partisan Malaysian Publication

It's not exactly comics, but I found this short article on the cartoonist Zunar savaging a publication called Utusan Malaysia compelling because 1) Zunar is being treated as a free speech advocate generally as opposed to one with only something worth saying when it comes to cartooning, and 2) that he disparages the publication in terms of it being a party's broadsheet instead of a functioning newspaper says something about his values in terms of what constitutes a newspaper worthy of extending these kinds of protections.
