Zapiro, not always original
Jonathan Shapiro, under the Zapiro label, is one of South Africa’s best satirical cartoonists. His pictures get to the heart of the issue straight away, a lot more effectively than words ever could. But they’re not always original. Have a look what appeared in the Mail and Guardian on November 23, 2006, pointing out the hypocrisy (in Zapiro’s view) of religious people when it comes to homosexuals.
These words, almost verbatim, have been circulating on the web apparently since 2000. See here or here.
Although I still enjoy the cartoons immensely, I always wonder whether I have Zapiro to thank.
