Please keep the issues, the larger broader deeper issues in mind when doing this wonderful pictorial/caricatural/satirical take.

I am at the same time also wondering if that's a borrowed culture and would have any negative affects. I was taking this class very recently about communications and how pictures can tell stories.... but often ... the message gets distorted or rather misunderstood because of the pictures. in the above cartoon for example, the CDG grant as i read it has been approved at the national Assembly.. and there are more members than the 11 Minsiters. it might be a great art but it might not always tell the right story..... i agree with the concern but not with how it is being presented to the gemeral public..... cartoons… that’s interesting and i guess..it also means that our media is becoming creative and progresive, if that’s the word….

He's art/carton has gotten lot to convey after all. I too enjoyed a lot trying to point who is who. LOL. The BO's Chimi is also equally good artist in fact. To be short, I just love their drawings. wow….good job Wangchuk! He’s art/carton has gotten lot to convey after all. I too enjoyed a lot trying to point who is who. LOL.

Actually, I was laughing when I saw it today in my office and had to explain what I could depict from the image to my colleagues. Everybody laughed and appreciated the whole character of the caricature (meaning, distinctness, etc.). Today, when I saw the better explanatin given my our Excellency OL, I had to once more laugh specially because I failed to capture the 2 million CDG that the ministers were holding in their hands. I also failed to recognize the NC chairman even though I could make out OL from the message of the caricature. We would like to see more of such cartoons to make us feel good especially when we are far away from family and the country. It is a great work, please keep up.
