Here’s another cartoon by Egypt’s Doaa Eladl. Click on it and you’ll see a whole slideshow of her work — narrated by Eladl through an interpreter. I produced this slideshow in July 2011 after meeting Doaa Eladl at a cartooning conference in Washington, DC. At that time Eladl was ecstatic about Egypt’s revolution which had occurred only months earlier.
The case of an Iranian cartoonist being sentenced to 25 lashes for depicting a politician in a soccer jersey has provoked online activism among fellow cartoonists. Listen to me chat about the case of Mahmoud Shokraiyeh with The World’s Marco Werman. See the cartoon that started it all, and look at a selection of images that cartoonists have drawn in solidarity with Shokraiyeh.
