Or the ghutra, as he so eloquently put it...
People.. our brave and controversial cartoonist is calling it quits and he cites his growing despair at the direction Kuwait is taking as his reason for quitting. He feels that his voice just isn't being heard and that his message isn't getting through.
He feels that Kuwaitis just don't care. All hell broke loose when the Islamists honed in on concerts and tried to regulate them - as if they weren't already regulated to death! - but general apathy is the rule of the day when it comes to their other assaults on our liberties, or the daylight robbery that passes for "business as usual" in this country. Everybody is an opposition figure until the government tosses them some business, and suddenly they're as quiet as sheep! He's also convinced that Kuwait is headed toward disaster and that Parliament will be dissolved soon.
I was just chatting with him on MSN and tried my best to convince him to stay the course and keep up the fight towards making Kuwait a better country. His cartoons were like a breath of fresh air because he had the guts to say what we were all thinking, but in a genuinely funny and subversive style.
Maybe you can succeed where I failed. Contact him here on his websites and talk him out of it!!
There is an online petition asking MadM to reconsider his decision. Here it is:

This isn't the 1st time MADM threatened to quit and I don't see why it should be his last :)
