Abstract
A Jordanian writer last month posted a cartoon not of his making on Facebook, which showed a bearded man in bed with two women in heaven, ordering God to bring him wine and food. The writer was about to stand trial for “insulting religion” when he was gunned down outside an Amman courthouse. In the Philippines, cartoonist Gerry Alanguilan, years ago, set up an online museum, the Komikero Group, and used his website in an effort to revive his country’s rich comics tradition and make young creators aware of comics classics.
