Kianoush Ramezani wins the 2022 LiberPress Award
From the Centro Librexpression website.
Kianoush Ramezani receives the LiberPress Award 2022 for his courage and decision to denounce religious fundamentalism, totalitarianism; to fight intolerance and dehumanization; to defend women and their freedoms; to ask for the equality of everyone and the respect and application of human rights in the world, but especially in his country, Iran, which has meant that he had to go into exile as a political refugee, putting his life at risk.
And he also receives it for drawing all these injustices and cruelties, and doing it with wit, harshness and mordantness; because with pencils and inks he can fill with colors and tenderness a world that unfortunately tyrants and imbeciles show us only in black and white, and too often also with the red of blood.
Kevin Kallaugher on the art of editorial cartooning
From The Harvard Magazine.
He’s produced some 10,000 cartoons for the Baltimore Sun and The Economist—in 1978 he became the first cartoonist hired by the latter—and his work is syndicated in more than 100 newspapers worldwide.
Over the years, he has exhibited his work at the Tate Gallery in London and the Library of Congress, and he’s won numerous awards in both Europe and the United States, including the National Press Foundation’s Berryman Award for editorial cartoons in 2002 and 2017—the only cartoonist to win twice.
In 2015 and 2020, he was a Pulitzer Prize finalist.

Kate Beaton Talks to Emily Donaldson
From The Globe and Mail.
What she found in the camps – the loneliness, the toxic masculinity, the occasional beauty, the camaraderie of a place that, for better and worse, has been intrinsic to our economy, and to our image of ourselves at home and abroad – is detailed in her new graphic memoir, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands.
The title has a double meaning – Beaton’s fellow Maritimers often refer to her, and each other, as “duck,” but there’s also an incident where a raft of ducks die in a tailing pond.
