Gerhard Haderer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerhard Haderer (born 1951, Leonding, Austria) is an Austrian cartoonist and caricturist.
His book Das Leben des Jesus (The Life of Jesus), a satire in which Jesus is portrayed as an incense-addicted hippy, was banned in Greece in 2005 for blasphemy, and Haderer received a suspended six-month jail sentence. However, the ban and sentence were reversed on appeal.
