Four typhoons appear in this Japan Meteorological Agency satellite image received via radiofax on Monday afternoon in Porto Alegre.

In my 36 years as a cartoonist, I’ve seen my work reproduced all over the world, but I must admit I was surprised to see one of my Illustrated Radio Listening Reports published by ABC Television in Kathmandu, Nepal.
What caught my attention was the fact that the topic of the illustrated report had nothing to do with the TV channel’s article. The report covered the Chinese government’s reaction to statements made by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaishi regarding Taiwan, whereas the article dealt with Chinese government criticism of a statement from the Philippine Department of Defense. In any case, even though it was used out of its original context, it’s interesting to see the reach of the *SWLing Post* and these Illustrated Radio Listening Reports.
