Legal threat over cartoon hoax

Legal threat over cartoon hoax : "

'I think to step into that minefield would be crazy.'

Leunig said he felt shocked, distressed and angry when a concerned executive from his newspaper contacted him last night about the cartoons."

I am with him. Leunig is one of my all time favourite cartoonists and he is brilliant..but his work belongs to him. Treating others with such impunity is reprehensible and completely denies the right of the individual to be in control of their life and work. I hope he is able to get to the bottom of it. Outrageous. We keep being pushed over the edge. It's a sick, sick world because the boundaries have lost their elasticity. The worst thing, is it stops people with real talent from utilising their gifts and sharing them with us. It's the worst form of censorship to besmirch others in such a fashion.
