Now for some humorous violence from four artists.
1. Frederc Madre at post.thing.net who in his Interpretation of KW's drawing tells us what the artist really wants to say:
This person . . . seems a bit pissed off that someone has planted a bomb into his hat. [click & scroll down]
2. 0f0003 | maschinenkunst on syndicate
`They want to know whether Muslims are extremists or not`:
There were security barriers too, without which,
the Beatles would almost certainly have been crushed
by the throng of screaming women.
3. Ghalib, writing in Urdu in 19th century India, with a comical resonance to the 'heaven' cartoon, says:
~ Jis mein lakhon baras ki hourein hein
~ Which has houris a million years old !
4. Abhi's illustration on The Sepia Mutiny [click] author-itorially and self-consciously censors the cartoon by substituting text for the bomb - because 'I do not want
to fuel the controversy but rather disscus it'. I suppose Abhi implies that the keyboard is mightier than the bomb - and not necessarily a better fuel - but I have my doubts. [click]
Also, Abhi fails to mention in his conclusion about muslims idolizing Muhammad in cartoons, that we need better pictures please!
These can perhaps be all color, which will then not have to be censored, making them censor-proof like this one here.
Now does black stand for punk, modern, or itself?
