Savio Jolted By Underground Cabling!

Savio Fernandes (Nigvaddo, Saligao/UAE) was sufficiently jolted to get his creative, cartooning juices flowing with the following post:

Dear M&M,

Your report on the "Underground Cabling" issue realy gave me a jolt and I thought of writing on the issue.

Well, I have not written this time but have edited your website photos with bubble quotes alongside. You may use them online if you are fine with it. Apologies for not taking your permission before using the photographs :-(



I have been a freelancer cartoonist for the Times of India (Goaplus) and Herald, but I have been on the back burner of late due to my hectic work...I need to devote more time to my hobby again and would cherish the opportunity of contributing to your website on a freelancing basis if permitted..

Would also like to appreciate and thank you for the great work done by you and all Saligaonetters by keeping Saligao alive through the web.

Thanks & Brgds,

Savio.

No need for permission to use any of the material on anOTHERgoa. It is all in the public domain; as long as you acknowledge the source (if possible), you are free to do anything you want with them for Saligao's and Goa's sake.

You are most welcome to contribute to anOTHERgoa. Just send us your creations and we will put them up if they are broadly within our mission statement. The only thing is they will not fetch you any income on our blog as it is unsponsored and done purely in the public interest. We believe that, "Information is power and it must be shared equitably." The idea is to empower people with information so that they can take the action they see fit.

You could also get back to cartooning for Herald and Gomantak Times as these are papers that would encourage your kind of humour. This way you could also earn from your hobby. With everything done online, sending them your work is really easy. Drop Rico/Fred a line and he will guide you.

We are sending you the original pictures so that you have more space for your blurbs. Please blurb as many of them as you want and send them back to us. We will put them up @ anOTHERgoa immediately.

Thanks for your appreciation, but what we do in Saligao is just part of being villagers in Goa...

Solidarity.

M&M.
