If you want to see some awesome cartoons by an Iranian artist, then visit the web site of Legofish. I have been astonished by his skills for the past three years.

It's heartening to see that we still haven't lost the ability to laugh at ourselves ... long live cartoons and its appreciators!

Out of curiosity... do you think there'll be a cartoon about Haleh Esfandiari's release; she's the director of the Middle East programme at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars who was let out of a Tehran jail yesterday.

With Bush still has his fingers on the 'attack Iran buttons' I guess cartoons seems rather inappropriate.

The Israeli/American coalition seem to be deciding the fate of the whole world. Who gave them the right?

Just came over to see what you were up to and you never fail to impress. Who would have thought that Iran is hosting a cartoon festival? I love it. The more I hear of Persia the more I want to visit and meet the wonderful people.
I must now read more of your blog, just wanted to say: hello!
