The Irrawaddy: Burmese humor survived the storm [Slide Show]
The Burmese laugh even in the face of adversity. Further proof of their indefatigable sense of humor is to be found in a Rangoon exhibition of cartoons relating to the Cyclone Nargis disaster and the government’s mismanagement of relief efforts. About 400 works by 70 cartoonists are on show at the Lawkanat gallery in an exhibition titled “Wake from the Storm.”
