Dr Jack Cartoon used in Indian Anticorruption Protest
A RIOT OF A CARTOON: The cartoon in the poster held by this anti-corruption protester in India was drawn by Dr JACK and published in The Sunday Times some 14 years earlier. By using generic characters rather than specific people, the cartoon brilliantly condemns organised crime (and by extension, corruption) in the public and private sectors. As long as the scourge of crime and corruption exists, this message will never date, as evidenced by the cartoon's revival, 14 years later. You can read an account of this cartoon's use in the protest here.
