10 | Even those who print, distribute, and sell these books are harassed by the government. | Fa na ireo manao printy, mampiely, ary mivarotra ireo boky ireo aza dia saritahan'ny governemanta. |

17 | How can I be neutral, even my pen has a stand! | Ahoana no tsy hananako loko raha ny peniko aza manana ijoroana! |

19 | My ideas are based on current issues, especially politics. | Ny hevitro dia mifototra amin'ny firesaka amin'izao fotoana, indrindra fa eo amin'ny lafiny politika. |
20 | When an issue arises, the first step is to understand the issue from different sources and perspectives. | Raha misy olana mitranga, ny dingana voalohany dia ny mahatakatra ilay olana avy amin'ny loharanom-baovao sy fijery isan-karazany. |
21 | After gathering all information, the second step is to take a stand on the issue. | Rehefa voavory daholo ny torohay rehetra, ny dingana faharoa dia ny fananana fijoroana amin'ny raharaha. |
22 | This is actually an important step because it will determine the direction of my cartoons. | Tena dingana manandanja tokoa izy io satria hamaritra ny zotran'ny sariitatro. |
23 | The right stand will convey the right message. | Ny fijoroana mety no hitondra ny hafatra mety. |
24 | I do not want to convey the wrong message just to get people laughing. | |
25 | This cartoon was widely shared after Zunar was arrested this month. | Tsy tiako ny hanome hafatra diso ho fampihomehezana ny olona fotsiny. |
26 | Zunar said he will continue to draw even if he is detained: | Nifampizarana fatratra ity sariitatra ity taorian'ny nisamborana an'i Zunar tamin'ity volana ity. |
