A powerful cartoon published on November 21 uses just a few strokes to deliver a layered social critique. It spots glaring contradictions in societal norms — juxtaposing power with helplessness, privilege with struggle. The artwork’s strength lies in its subtlety: rather than heavy-handed messages, it uses irony, expressions and symbolic imagery to force a moment of introspection for the viewer. The faces and body language of the characters in the frame — sometimes with exaggerated features — reflect despair, fear, frustration, or resignation. Meanwhile, other elements in the sketch hint at institutions: walls, doors, official seals or empty corridors — silently pointing to bureaucratic apathy, social indifference or systemic neglect.

What makes the cartoon stand out is its universality. Without naming any person or event, it evokes emotions that many can relate to — injustice faced by the marginalized, hopes crushed by the powerful, and the silent weight of inequality. The humour is not meant to amuse but to unsettle: it asks questions, provokes discomfort, and demands accountability. It shows that good cartoons aren’t just about laughter — they are mirrors reflecting the deeper, often uncomfortable truths of our society.
