Introducing…

I would like to introduce new toonpool.com member Sinann . I really like the way Sinann enhances the black and white contrast in his cartoons by adding grey areas. Take, for example, this cartoon referring to last week’s balloon boy hoax. A great drawing – especially that couple in the background. I also liked the one on the feathered dinosaur fossil. When checking wikipedia for some smart statement about palaeontology to throw in or at least for  some information about recent feathered dinosaur finds, I stumbled upon this article. It’s… detailed… and Im not going to read all of it. But maybe someone else wants to. And then post a smart statement.

Cartoons of Interest

My favourite cartoon this week is another simple gag cartoon. Writing this thing really tells me something about my kind of humor. Oh, well. In any case, Cartoonkiss got everything right in “Zahnarzt” (“Dentist”). I admire how he directs the readers through the single panel cartoon: First, there’s only the caption (it translates to “Next, please!”).. and then your eyes wander down the page… Also a great use of a highly underestimated color: glow-in-the-dark greenish.
