Gleaner/La May under pressure

PAJ and some PNP affiliated groups have come out against the cartoon calling it vulgar and out of character....

Why? Artistic expression ... dem tek demselves too serious. When she baawl out, nuh fi draw har tongue, anybody did see it as vulgar?

Still, do you think the short skirt hiked up, anklet, nose ring and belly skin blouse is an accurate depiction?

Since when people care about an accurate depiction in a cartoon? Unuh all getting touchy about nothing.

<DIV>Sickko, the cartoon, more a caricature,is nothing big. We take things too literal in this country. She had no bizniz talking about her personal credit card regarding the travelgura issue. The cartoon deals specifically with that.</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>It's no wonder our caricaturists are so boring sometimes.</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>Let's move on!</DIV>

Mosiah, you are mixing issues here. Your argument is that since she has no right talking about her credit card (which I agree with), it is no big deal if she is depicted as a skets (I disagree there). Is the cartoon a just punishment then?

For further edification, are our CARTOONIST really Caricaturists?

A caricature is a portrait that exaggerates or distorts the esse

RE: Gleaner/La May under pressure

My point exactly...I have no problem with the Cartoonist taking issue with her statements, some time the PM chat too much and goes too far in the things she says as if she has no control..but my problem was how she was drawn....like a sketel, skirt hiked up, the nose ring, the anklet, belly skin blouse and revealing cleavage...that was too much and over the top, that is not freedom of speech, that is abuse of previlige...
