Introducing…
An Yong Chen is a new member from Chongquing. He has added some fine pencil drawings. I noticed that, apart from his caricatures of Mao Zedong and Kim Yong Il, his characters all have western features. Of course, toonpool.com is a pretty “western” community, so he might have chosen to do this on purpose. If not, it would be a topic worth examining. In his cartoons An Yong Chen expresses media criticism, technology criticism, and anti-war sentiments.
Cartoons of Interest
“Crime Scene” – this week’s favorite – is actually a part of a series of classic art spoofs by Costa Rican artist Munguia. They look like collectible cards and many of them are truly funny and innovative, so you should really browse through Munguia’s gallery if you have some time off. Unfortunately, some of them are really small … but there is still hop that the artist will re-upload them. (ahem)
I also would like to share this cartoon about kings, this one about long-term relations between butlers and their employers, and this caricature of Diego Maradona. I know that this is probably the umpteenth caricature of Maradona I am posting but.. what can I say.. he’s Maradona.
