German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s visit to Turkey wasn’t really Easter related. Then again, these days nothing is not Easter-related. Most cartoons emphasize the meeting’s potential for conflict which, admittedly, had been instrumentalized by both Merkel and Erdogan (here, here & here).
Introducing…
Evandro Alves is a promising new toonpool.com member from Brazil. Of his cartoons, I liked “standing ovations for a snake charmer” best. Note how the lower left part of the audience seems to be mesmerized by something outside of the panel, perhaps a giant video screen. I also liked the “smoker’s trophies” – reminded me of a skater I used to be friends with who kept his broken boards. Although the trophies in the cartoon are probably supposed to be his family’s lungs. The “Noah’s arc” one is a bit moralizing too, but it has animals with gas masks. And they look cute.
Cartoons of Interest
I can’t really tell why I like this cartoon by Mattiello. It’s about easter and dangereous eggs and it makes great use of the white space and vectorized color fields.
