Being connected to cartoonists around the world is a great pleasure for me. I feel it is a way for people to talk about issues without needing to use words and it is a way to be connected with other cultures and their concerns through art. And, I am fascinated at how we can see different artists approach one issue. I was fortunate to be invited to write about this for CNN.com, and I curated a cartoon slide show for the article. You can view it here, and it is titled “How International Cartoonists See Gadhafi.” I put out a call to all the cartoonists I know around the globe, and within a few hours had a selection that we went with. The editors at CNN and I felt we had to move fast in case the situation changed in Libya. Over the next few days, more cartoons arrived in my inbox that I could not use for the CNN feature, but were equally poignant. I will run these in the next day or so on the site I edit called World Ink.

Photos from Salon International du Dessins De Presse et d’Humour
I was honored to receive the International Prize at the Salon du Dessins de Presse et d’Humour in St Just, France. I was given two beautiful statues: a porcelaine cow and cartoon character. My French colleagues pictured here received the Regional Awards, and we were joined by students, who presented the awards to us.
French cartoonist Valerie Delacherie and I were interviewed on French Web TV.
The Exhibits. There were many, with cartoons from all over the world.
And there was also an Exhibit of cartoons from my book, Sex and Sensibility.
