Eating Pizza & Pasta – the famous Italian Food

Pizza Quattro Stagioni or Tonno, Spaghetti Bolognese or Carbonara, Tiramisu, Olio di Oliva & Parmigiano – have you ever drawn scenes about enjoying Italian meals (archive)? Or are you inspired to join our contest with new funny ideas?

The agony of choice from a long menu card, handling spaghetti at a romantic candlelight date with a new lover (while listening kitschy Italian pop songs) or pizza as street food (while getting a call from your mobile) – we are looking for very witty and ironic (not disgusting!) scenes – cartoons as well as illustrations. What is a pizza? Has it geometric structures? Is is a science? A philosophy? A global vision of life? A religion?

We are planning an exhibition in case there are enough entries joining (and maybe a catalogue or book).

Please listen to a facebook song which students of the BTK academy have specially composed for our contest ( it´s in German though).:

WE LIKE TO ANNOUNCE A NEW CONTEST. We are searching for the best artworks about:
• Facebook (cartoon) or
• Mark Zuckerberg, head of Facebook (caricature)

…or both combined. What are our funny thoughts of Mark’s childhood and parents? What did he do in school in former times, and who had been his classmates and friends? Will whole earth’s population be registered on facebook soon? What will follow? What about business, will Mark buy and own the world one day? And what will he be more: Big Brother or God? Which jokey accidents and misfortunes could happen to facebook and Mark? And most important: Who will be Mark’s wife-to-be???

Edit: End of submission time. Thank you all for participating!

Though not winning a price but further admiration: these
following 3 cartoons out of the Easter Pitch 2010 collection.

Eggs Benedict by Hugh Jarse

Again, thanks to everyone for participating! Peace & Smiles
Your toonpool.com team.

About that Easter cartoon competition: Yes, there is a winner. We’re terribly busy right now, but there should be an announcement some time next week.

In other news, labor day (May 1st) has come and gone. As usual, there have been some riots in Berlin, but it wasn’t as bad as last year. Unfortunately most cartoons on the issue seem to be mediocre agitprop rather than actual cartoons. I liked this little illustration, this chronology and this German cartoon about traditions and new models of employment.

There is also a number of cartoons on the Louisiana oil spill and they are surprisingly inventive: (1,2,3,4).

Cartoons of Interest

This week, my favourite cartoon is “Mantis Dinner Date” by Sardonic Salad, a cartoon co-op from Omaha, Nebraska. It’s a classic praying mantis cartoon, if there’s such a thing. I like pretty much everything about it – from the simple, yet effective colors and lines to to both the girl-mantis’ and the boy-mantis’ facial expressions. In fact, this cartoon made me get my old Gary Larson anthologies from the shelf.

Please also note “A Day in the Life of a Cow” by Piero Tonin, which is very nicely drawn although it features a rather conservative bovine family concept. There’s also a somewhat weird cartoon aptly titled “Brain” by Ukranian artist Kazanevski. It’s either about an accountant’s return to nature or the importance of brain training.

Finally, I would like to point out a series of cartoons by Garrincha. They are about a character named Miss Corina Tedeschi. Some of them are a bit strange. As far as I can say now, Ms. Tedeschi frequently interacts with street performers (1,2,3) and she also seems to have made friends with two robot aliens (1,2).

Paul Hellmich

Winner: "Steinmeier and Obama" by Lexluther (Germany)

Second Winner: "Angela Merkel" by Nicoleta Ionescu (Romania)

Third Winner: "Steinmeier VS Merkel" by Salnavarro (USA)

You can see the winners and places four to ten in this collection. It was hard enough to agree on three winners, so actually all other cartoons in this gallery share place four. If you want to make up your own mind about all the Merkels and Steinmeiers: this collection contains all participanting cartoons.

For all of you who participated: Thank you for submitting your work. You contributed to a global exchange of art, opinion & humor and I am sure you made a couple of people laugh, smile, smirk, or giggle. Keep up the great work!

members of the jury: Max Pohlenz, Bernd Pohlenz (CEOs, toonpool.com), Rebecca Conrad (Creative Director, toonpool.com), Paul Hellmich (Blog Guy, toonpool.com), Niels von Boldvig (Cartoonist from Århus, Denmark), Sven Larsen (Lecturer, Berliner Technische Kunsthochschule), Karl-Ludwig Baader (Editor, Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung)
