Finding the cartoons on the internet isn't all that easy unless you know exactly where to look. So if you want to check out the original 12 cartoons, plus some further material, CLICK HERE. Be prepare to be disappointed if you're expecting anything outrageous.

'Cartoons from the Arab World' with explanatory comments are available on the website of self-proclaimed Mideast media analyst Tom Gross.

The 12 Danish cartoons were also available on the Action In England website (which seems to have disappeared) along with links to a lot more cartoons, some of the same strength as the ones on Tom Gross's website. The cartoon above is one of them.
