A vaccine syringe is not a weapon of war. The vaccine syringe is designed to save life, not take it away. This is the cartoon’s conceptual error, nor is it humourously ambiguous. The googily-eyed Leunig man has a choice. His is not an anonymous silent protest, a Tiananmen stand-off in front of a tank. He is not a victim of state suppression. He won’t be [disappeared] in the middle of the night. Unless perhaps he’s in ICU. Michael Leunig has his off days. He’s no saint, but why sack him? Expect cartoons about getting fired over the phone, with duck.
