Columnist Mohammad Taqi suggested using the line style of late cartoonist Vai Ell, saying this style was used to draw the caricature of late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. “You can always do a Vai Ell-style line/silhouette, which he did for BB.”

However, Nazar again expressed his inability to adopt the Vai Ell’s style. “YL was master of one liners..sadly i rely on image.”

However, other comments were less complimentary as they accused Nazar of flattery.
