It is really puzzling why a newspaper of
The Hindu's stature persists with a daily cartoon of such poor quality. The cartoons are not funny, they don't make you think, and the pictures are, at best, rankly amateurish. The same goes for
Deccan Chronicle as well, but they have one thing going right for them: in a bid to assuage the cartoonist's overblown ego, they display his photograph alongside the cartoon everyday, affording you the pleasure of focussing your ire and imprecations on him directly.
