Cartoons are meant to be satire and humor but there are instances when they crosses the line of humor and become distasteful. And, I find the cartoons published in Nepal’s main two national dailies – Kantipur and Nagarik – just distasteful.
The following cartoon was published in Kantipur’s front page on October 13.

The following cartoon was published in Page 3 of Nagarik on October 14.

Kantipur daily received a lot of criticism and complaints about the cartoon (as indicated by their own front-page sorry note) and they were forced to publish a note on the front page apology note on October 14.
