Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

imageI think a lot of people will enjoy the transcript of this address by Manjula Padmanabhan for the way it engages a number of issues in cartooning, such as the perceived relative dearth of women cartoonists out there and what that might mean, but I thought she brought up an interesting notion the relates to the Danish Cartoons. While a lot of analysis, including much of my own, has discussed the original publication of the Muhammed caricatures in Jyllands-Posten terms of whether or not it was a proper act of journalists, Padmanabhan looks at the very same elements in terms of what cartoonists should or should not do -- or do best and not do well at all, if you prefer.
