Couldn't take a joke


He is a minor cartoonist. It was just a cartoon. Not even a particularly clever one- just a crudely drawn image where the tigers making-up the national emblem were replaced by blood-thirsty wolves.
The people in power took offence. They arrested him, accused him of sedition. His arrest became headline news. There was wide-spread public outcry.
He has now been released from custody. The entire nation has seen his cartoon. He has become a national hero. And all because the people in power couldn’t take a joke.
I wonder if they would have arrested him had they known the outcome?
