Fight Bribery With... Comics?

Chinese government to use comic books as anti-bribery tool

The Collective Man China's Communist ruling party plans to start off the Lunar New Year holiday by distributing comics depicting graft and various other forms of corruption in an effort to reduce crime in one of the nation's most troubled provinces.

According to the Associated Press:

"The pocket-size comic book, which includes caricatures depicting common forms of graft and bribery, will be distributed as a gift to 100,000 party members in the central province of Henan, Xinhua news agency said."
