Satire Fest brings together oldies and youth
The Satire Fest brought together established and emerging Pakistani cartoonists in Lahore. This event marked a significant moment in the country's satire scene, emphasizing youth involvement.

LAHORE — For the first time, almost all leading and young Pakistani cartoonists attended a Satire Fest in Lahore recently.

The atmosphere was both happy and sober at the same time, the only significant part besides the usual bickering about the working conditions was the presence of a large number of young cartoonists.

It was unusual to see such a large number of WMCs (Weapons of Mass Communication) under one roof.

Cartoonist Akhter Shah, representing JournalismPakistan.com, pointed out that the journalist community often refers cartoonists as long-range misguided ballistic missiles.

“It was a pleasant surprise to see such a large pile of weapons ready to fire in all directions; one hopes this arsenal will keep growing with time,” he said.

Key Points

  • First-time gathering of leading and young cartoonists in Lahore
  • Atmosphere mixed with joy and serious discussions
  • High number of young cartoonists in attendance
  • Commentary on cartoonists as 'long-range misguided ballistic missiles'
  • Hope for growth in the cartoonist community
