COMMENT In just a few words, Zunar explains it all.

Over the phone, I ask the 53-year-old political cartoonist why his latest book, ‘Sapuman - Man of Steal’ has become a national threat, he answers: “Ours is a land of cartoons.”

All the characters in the cartoon land, he says, are cartoons characters. “Only cartoon characters are afraid of cartoons,” he quips. “Look at Tom and Jerry. Jerry is afraid of Tom. If they were real people, they should not be afraid of cartoons.”
