It is just not funny. Simply not funny to cancel a cartoonist because of his politics, or whom he satirised. The Age has dismissed national treasure Michael Leunig because he created editorial cartoons critical of Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and the state’s Covid health orders. ““The way it was done was rude. It was a pretty blunt, discourteous and frustrating way to have a half-century of editorial cartooning at The Age brought to an end,” said Leunig of his cancellation. “My greatest dismay in all of this is the wretched state of cartooning and humour in The Age. It’s as if they want to destroy or subjugate cartooning.”
You might be right mate. But, find another paper or just go independent, and hit even harder. It shows the true colours of the system, that a state can be locked down for the longest time on Earth, without any critic being tolerated. That’s not democracy, it is totalitarianism. I wonder what the Leftist paper The Guardian’s take on this is?
