【新唐人2012年1月21日讯】一幅名为《北大笑长雕塑》的漫画在新浪微博流传。漫画中的“北大笑长”狗身人头，手中抱着骨头，尾巴在身后摇摆。有网友指责漫画涉嫌侵犯北大校长周其凤的名誉权；也有人指出，一幅漫画不值得小题大做，在国外许多名人包括总统被幽默和讽刺一把都属正常。
《南方都市报》视觉中心漫画编辑邝飚，16号，在新浪微博发了一个漫画图贴，并标注：“漫画《北大笑长雕塑》完成稿，请大家批评。”漫画中“北大笑长”被刻画成狗身人头形象，手中抱着骨头，身后的尾巴还在摇摆，站在污秽物上，周围更是苍蝇乱飞。
这幅作品并没有刊登在报纸上。但在微博发布后立即引来网友的转载和评论，有网友指责这副漫画涉嫌侵犯“北大校长周其凤”的名誉权。
也有网友认为，这副漫画内涵深刻，中国名牌大学领导，实质上就是这型，实为入木三分的漫画。
而《人人网》上，一名北大学子发表了一封致北大校长的公开信，希望校长“对于造谣诽谤、人身攻击的事件，大可以向对方讨一个说法。
邝飚向媒体表示，自己并非有所指，只是一个灰色幽默性质的漫画，对于网友如何评论自己并不干涉。
新闻漫画专家也认为，漫画本身具有夸张和讽刺性，并不特定代表某一个人。
而“六四天网”发言人蒲飞指出，在国外，许多名人包括总统被幽默和讽刺一把，都是再正常不过的事。
蒲飞：“一般公众人物只要不是对他人格伤害和诽谤的话，大家给他画画漫画或写点笑话讽刺一下，在全世界绝大多数都是合法的，在国外每天都可以在报纸上看到关于当地总统也好，政府行政部门一些首长的漫画，而且大家觉得这是一种非常有意思的事情。”
蒲飞指出，去年12月24号，周其凤在家乡长沙市面对四大名校学生进行演讲，多次赞颂北大是中国最好的一所大学，批评美国的教育一塌糊涂，而且每一任总统都不懂得尊重人。他的言论在网络引起轩然大波，网友们批评他：“丢人”、“无知”、“悲哀”甚至“垃圾”、“脑残”等。
蒲飞：“中国的部分律师，所谓的学生也好，认为侵权，我们大家都觉得这个莫名其妙，邝飚先生的这幅漫画也没有对他的家人或者对他的人身进行一个诽谤或编造事实，只是表示了一些评论界人士对他前一段时间所做的一些行为的不满。”
早前邝飚曾因声援《南都周刊》副总编辑长平，创作了一幅漫画在网络走红。漫画中长平被绳索紧紧捆住、一双粗壮的大手扼住他的脖子。之后，邝飚被报社通报批评，处以罚款1500元，并从中级编辑降为普通编辑。
蒲飞：“任何作家也好，画家也好的创作权，都应该得到这个国家的充份保障和保护，如果像邝飚也好，其他的漫画作者也好，他们在发表作品时遇到困难，或者受到官方的蓄意刁难向我们进行投诉的话，我们都会随时进行一个…，提供我们力所能及的维权活动服务，而且我们也在任何时候都会支持他们的维权。”
邝飚是广州人，1966年出生于北大荒。《南方都市报》职业漫画撰稿人，主攻新闻时政漫画，内容多为灰色幽默性质。

Cartoon of “Funny Dean of Beijing Univ.” Arouses Controversy
Recently, a cartoon called “Funny Dean of Beijing Univ.
Sculpture” on Sina microblog provoked controversy.
The image shows a dog’s head on a body with hands
holding bones, and a tail swinging behind.
Some netizens accused the cartoon of insulting Zhou Qifeng,
President of Beijing University.
Some netizens point out that it is just a cartoon,
so it is not worth making a fuss about it.
In other countries, it is normal that many celebrities
including presidents, are satirised with this kind of humour.
On Jan.16, Kuang Biao of the Southern Metropolis Daily, that
newspaper’s comics editor, posted a cartoon on Sina microblog.
he noted: “Cartoon sketch of ‘Funny Dean of Beijing Univ.
Sculpture’ final version, any feedback is welcome.”
The cartoon portrayed is an image of dog’s head on a body
with hands holding bones,
and a tail swinging behind, standing on dirt,
with flies buzzing around it.
The cartoon hasn’t been published in a newspaper.
although it has been posted on a microblog,
which has aroused a great deal of controversy.
Some netizens have accused the cartoonist of insulting Zhou
Qifeng, President of Beijing University’s reputation.
However, other netizens believe the cartoon
has profound meaning.
As many leaders of top universities in China, are just like this,
the cartoons are actually telling the truth.
A Beijing Univ. student published an open letter
to the president of Beijing Univ. on renren.com,
suggesting that he has a word with the author
about his insulting behaviour.
Kuang Biao told the media that the cartoons weren’t
particularly referring to anyone, it was just grey humour.
He didn’t want to get involved with netizens comments.
News editors believe that a cartoon has the character of irony.
It does not necessarily represent any particular person.
Pu Fei, spokesman of 64tianwang.com Human Rights Centre,
said that
in other countries, it is normal that many celebrities
including presidents are satirised with this kind of humour.
Pu Fei: “As long as it doesn’t slander a public figure,
if someone draws a cartoon or writes a humorous article to satirise him, it is legal in most countries.
In other countries, everyday you can find cartoons of presidents
or ministers’ in comics in the daily newspapers. The public find this amusing.”
Pu Fei points out that last Dec.24, Zhou Qifeng addressed
four top universities in his hometown of Changsha.
He praised Beijing Univ. over and again as the best Univ.
of China and he also criticised the education in the U.S.A.
Furthermore, he said all U.S. presidents have no respect
for people.
His speech provoked criticism from netizens: “shameful”;
“naive”; “sad”; “rubbish” and “mental”.
Pu Fei said: “Some lawyers and so-called “students” believe
it is a violation of human rights.
But we all feel these criticisms are unreasonable.
Kuang Biao’s cartoon didn’t slander Zhou Qifeng’s family
members or Zhou himself, nor make any fabricated story.
It only reflects the commentators’ unhappiness
over Zhou’s recent behaviour.”
Kuang Biao had once drawn a cartoon supporting his colleague
Chang Ping, deputy editor of Southern Weekend,
the cartoon became popular on the internet.
There was an image of Chang Ping tied tightly with ropes,
with big hands strangling him.
Soon afterward Kuang Biao was punished by his company,
was fined of 1500 yuan (US$237) and was demoted.
Pu Fei says: “Any writer or artist has their composition rights
and, should be protected by law.
Kuang Biao or any other cartoonist, when they encounter difficulty
in publishing their works, or receive official interference,
come to us, and we try our best to uphold their human rights.
We support them all the time.”
Kuang Biao is from Guangzhou, but was born in North China
in 1966.
He is a professional comic editor of Southern Metropolis
Daily newspaper.
He is specialized in current affairs comics,
most are in a grey humour.
