The celebrated cartoonist Zunar has withdrawn a cartoon related to the COVID-19 vaccines after reading comments on his post.
In a Linkedin post, Zunar says he felt that his cartoon had shone a negative light on frontliners. Thus, he is withdrawing the cartoon.
“Reading through comments from readers especially from frontliners, I feel that my cartoon today had shone a negative light on the efforts and sacrifices made by our frontliners.
“it is inappropriate for the nurse to be punished before the investigation is completed – and as a cartoonist, I, too, should not resort the same. I hereby withdraw this cartoon,” he writes.
He posted a picture of the cartoon with a ‘Withdrawn’ in red pasted above it.
Here is the post on Twitter:
