SILENCE KILLS

March 09th, 2008 | Category: Politics, cartoon

Brazilian cartoonist, Carlos Latuff’s commentary is impeccable and always a treat. His courage and willingness to portray the truth (through his work) makes his art stand out far above the rest in his field. The statement on his blog reads, “All of my artworks published in this blog are COPYLEFT. You are strongly encouraged to forward them to people and reproduce them in your website/magazine/bulletin/poster/t-shirt/etc.”

Here’s a tiny sample of his work. I now have a new hero…

    This is seriously impressive stuff. The message presented in these cartoon is worth books and books.

    Thanks for posting it over on your blog.

    Rather amazingly one-sided. And predictable, jejune, pedestrian. Despite the encouragement to forward, I will not do so. I can scope out similar “cartoons” on thousands of websites and blogs worldwide. Could you not have posted something less stereotypical?
