Whistleblower Cartoon by B. Epstein - Office Humor & Ethics Commentary #3599743 (License: Personal Use)

The black-and-white cartoon features a young boy in a scout uniform standing near an office desk, his clothes plastered with handwritten notes saying “whistleblower.” Two adults-a seated woman at a computer and a man in a lab coat holding a tablet-look at him with skepticism or concern. Signed by B. Epstein, the piece uses irony to critique how institutions preemptively label truth-tellers as troublemakers.

This image is commonly used in articles about corporate ethics, workplace retaliation, government transparency, or media commentary on whistleblowing cases (e.g., Snowden, Manning, or recent tech-sector disclosures). It serves to illustrate bias against whistleblowers and is ideal for blog posts, op-eds, or educational content targeting professionals and students in law, journalism, or public policy.
