A definite sick and insensitive cartoon
Dear Editor,
I have worked in the Media from 1983 onwards as a writer, Illustrator and cartoonist and I must add that I have spent a significant period of my life as a young man in West Ruimveldt.
I have had the responsibility of submitting my cartoons for the Sunday Newspapers for years and I have worked, quarreled and became enlightened by many editors including Frank Campbell, Claudette Earle, Adam Harris, Godfrey Wray, Rashid Osman and others and the context in which the Sunday Cartoon was constructed in this news paper Kaieteur News 23 Feb. 2013 defines its very conceptualization as having emerged from a definite sick and insensitive mind.
This cartoon cannot be justified in the mood of rough satire, humour, editorial caricature or any other expression in the field.
The responsibility lies with the artist. He or she needs therapy, to have used a tragedy in such a psychotic mode. I have functioned in the tense atmosphere of reaching press schedules and there is always room for editorial hic-cups.
This Cartoon was deliberate and offensive and the Cartoonist owes the newspaper and the family of the deceased an apology, then he or she should proceed to acquire help for obviously, a very disturbing disposition.
