A cartoon about censorship and proscriptions on humour.
The cartoon reflects an aspect of the “hate speech” laws (which state that anything that may cause offence is prohibited).
Humour by its very nature frequently sets up a tension that may be misinterpreted by the more earnest and humourless amongst us (he says, patronisingly), opening it up to be a target for censorship.
A cartoon about censorship, censoriousness, woke earnestness.
