By Matt Wuerker, December 22, 2011 Jeff Danziger looks back at the year: http://www.danzigercartoons.com/ Happy Holidays to all the political cartoonists who make the often wretched days of our lives more bearable through the art of laughter. A Special Note:
This holiday season please keep Ali Ferzat, his family, and the people of Syria, who continue to suffer under the brutal regime of Bashar Assad, in your prayers for peace and goodwill among men. Ali Ferzat (Arabic: علي فرزات‎; born 22 June 1951, Hama, Syria), is a renowned Syrian political cartoonist. He has published more than 15,000 caricatures between Syrian, Arab and international newspapers. He serves as the head of the Arab Cartoonists' Association. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Ferzat Ali Farzat on December 10 was a recipient along with 4 other individuals involved in the Arab Spring, including Mohamed Bouazizi, to receive the Sakharov Prize "established in December 1988 by the European Parliament as a means to honour individuals or organisations who have dedicated their lives to the defence of human rights and freedom of thought." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakharov_Prize Ali Ferzat remains in Syria and was not permitted to attend the awards ceremony in Paris on December 14, "He sent a video message expressing his grief and sorrow at the number of victims in Syria which 'increases with every minute.'" http://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/-/world/12354400/eu-parliament-awards-arab-spring-activists/

4. Thank you.

I started copying the source because I think it really gives an idea what people are seeing in the editorial page. BTW you've inspired me to pay a lot more attention to the political cartoons. Thank you for your long service to the DU community in this regard.
Merry Christmas n2doc!  |
