CARTOONIST ANGEL BOLIGAN’S CARTOONS AT ALL AREAS

Angel Boligàn Corbo was born in Havana. In 1992 he moved to Mexico. He draws for the newspaper EL UNIVERSAL and the satirical magazines CONOZCA MÁS and EL CHAMUCO. He is a member of the cartoonist group “Cartooning for Peace” and won worldwide more than 130 prizes in cartoon competitions.

Angel comes from a country surrounded by dreams, frustrations and sometimes nightmares. Cuba, land of intensive social and political incidents, gave Bolig án the experience of life. A socialist who later will perceive the capitalist world with a broader look, becoming that way an observer with a surprising maturity.

Since the beginning of this century he conquered one country after another in Europe and in Latin America, but also China and the United States. He is therefore a cartoonist of the 21th century.
We can call Boligàn a “cartoonist at-all-areas“. His work consists of excellent editorial cartoons, remarkable caricatures, small strips of high quality, but his great talent is mainly reflected in his humorous drawings.

In dealing with everyday problems, love and disappointment, ecology, religion, speculation, new technologies and corruption, with a subtle humor and great capacity for synthesis, Boligàn gives to his original artworks the exceptional effulgence.

IRANIAN CARTOONIST MANA NEYESTANI

In a free environment humour is the gate to peoples heart

In dictatorships it is the biggest weapon against the opressors

And the fastest path to hell on earth

Peace to the huts, Fire for the palaces!

The cartoon depicted a cockroach responding in Azerbaijani. Neyestani, along with Mehrdad Ghasemfar, the editor-in-chief of Iran, were arrested by government officials and the newspaper was closed down following the riots

THE AWKWARD YETI HEART AND BRAIN

The Awkward Yeti encompasses multiple series by cartoonist Nick Seluk. The ongoing self-titled strip,The Awkward Yeti, follows Lars the yeti as he experiences everyday social awkwardness at work, in his social life, even while dating. The popular spinoff, Heart and Brain, follow the inner dialogue between the cynical, society-influenced Brain and the impulsive, optimistic Heart. Together, the three characters were metaphorically inspired by the concept of the Id (Heart), the Ego (Lars) and the Superego (Brain) but have developed their own personalities over time.
In addition to the two regular series, miscellaneous comics explore life, science and many other topics through ridiculous personification of organs, animals, and even rocks.

Originally based on a terrible painting, The Awkward Yeti starred in his own self-published children’s book of the same title in late 2012. The Awkward Yeti’s first volume of cartoons and comics was self-published in October 2013 after experiencing a lot of growth on Facebook in the first year. Only a few hundred copies were ever produced of his self-published books. His first published book, Heart and Brain: An Awkward Yeti Collection (Andrews McMeel Publishing) spent two weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list in October/November 2015.
