No Funny Side to War

Whilst there is nothing funny about war, some of the best cartoon-art has been created to say so much about the sh1t that’s happening in Ukraine now.

I unfortunately can’t give credit to any of the original artists of these images. They are welcome to let me know. But Putin can go f…. well, you get the picture. The images below also say that.

Isn’t great that our feelings can be expressed through art?!
I stand with Ukraine.

UPDATE: Finding Artists Behind Images

In an attempt to locate the original of these cartoons, I resorted to TinEye.com . This revealed that most of the photographs originate from Russian websites that have been turned off, at least for now. So I have sought the artists behind the cartoons.

1. I cannot locate the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon original, but I did find Bill Watterson’s daily cartoon feed.
2. The manipulated Pootin face is approximately 10 years old. And Russians are not permitted to share the image. Thankfully the rest of the world is OK with parody.
3. The peace-dove sh1tting on Pootin originates as a stock photo, manipulated masterfully.
4. The brown bear getting it’s claw caught in a trap is apt artwork by Theo Moudakis, Award-Winning Editorial Cartoonist with the Toronto Star.
5. Most of the obscure cartoons seem to have been released to the world on Imgur and Reddit, so have become the main repositorys for most cartoons . Check out the balls of Zelensky .
6. The giant red Russian bear about to step on a small Ukrainian flag made of Lego bricks is an absolutely fantastic poster by Polish illustrator Pawel Jonca. <– Link takes you to donation site.

Unless someone admits to drawing or compiling these images, that’s the best I can do.
