Roald Dahl words changed

A cartoon about the changing of words in Roald Dahl books.

The cartoon illustrates the bowderising or censorship of the text of Roald Dahl children’s books. The changes include the removal of words such as ‘ugly’ and ‘fat’.
The changes are put down to the use of sensitivity readers who are employed to alter text to remove language that is judged to be inappropriate or problematic.

The action is viewed as being part of the woke phenomenon.

Book of ART CARTOONS

A book of humour about the visual arts.

Over a hundred cartoons about art

The targets of the cartoons range from artists themselves to the audiences in art galleries, and from art classes to art techniques.
There is humour aimed at contemporary art and at modern art along with humour directed at traditional art.
There are jokes about specific artists such as Picasso, Dali, Magritte, Mondrian and Vermeer and there are jokes about the art market, about art criticism and about art theory.
