There are two types of criticism. Positive and Negative. When you get negative criticism, you are supposed to acknowledge and then improve. But we nepalese have a tendency to ignore ay criticisms that come hitting us. I am not criticizing the Cartoonists, I am criticizing the publishers... The enpali cartoons are great, and the uses of THET Nepali words have striking effect. But it doesn't mean that same writer of the dialogue can also efficiently write in english. The Kathmandu Post is not willing to pay extra money, and trying to use the same cartoon from Kantipur. Why can't they simply pay another cartoonist who writes in engluish, if there's one. If there isn't one, translation is fine. But why stinginess in paying someone who has good command in english to have the nepali cartoon translated !!
