Rajeshkc.com presents the works and biography of a Nepali cartoonist.
Title
Rajesh KC - Cartoonist & Photographer
Description
Tough media censorship has been in place in Nepal since King Gyanendra took power Feb. 1 declaring an emergency. Military censors now watch over the publication of news reports, several journalists have been detained, and several newspapers in villages and smaller towns have been shut down.
But cartoonist Rajesh K.C. _ he uses initials for his last name _ is among a handful of cartoonists trying to illustrate with sketches what cannot be said in words. He works for the country's largest newspaper, Kantipur.
One recent cartoon showed three top leaders _ under house arrest for weeks, and unable to get haircuts _ trying to find a barber to trim their increasingly long hair. Another showed family members jumping to grab the telephone when a bicycle bell rings outside _ an allusion to the snapping of telephone and Internet links for a week after the royal takeover.
