3 Comments on “Cartoons”
I am interested in the cartons you did on climate change for the new internationalist are they in the latest issue?
The coverage of COP 21 was online only, because it was up-to-the-minute rolling coverage. That reminds me tho, I must put it up here!
Dear Kate,
—- This seems the only possible way of contacting you —-
Two hours ago, I learnt of your cartoons published in my daily paper ‘Neues Deutschland’ on the occasion of the 150th birthday of Rosa Luxemburg. —- My congratulations!, and I am deeply impressed!
So much so that I immediately rushed to send you this note —- without bothering to look at all those other things you have done!
Yes, there is a kind of caveat: I would like to draw your attention to yet another woman’s life story which has received a boost through a book written by Ben Macintyre, ‘Agent Sonya’, and which was published in England last September. Maybe you would like to look into that book. My feeling is, however, that would be full worthy of a cartoonic treatment by your hands.
(I wll not deny that there is some relation between this woman and myself.)
I wish you all the very best for your future work!
Peter
