SIMILAR CARTOONS..

Dear Sirs

Unfortunately, once again, I must defend myself from those who
accuse me of copying cartoon of other colleagues.
I say immediately that this offends me.
Work and in life I consider myself honest.
You may believe this or not. The truth does not change.
Regarding my cartoon that won the 29th Nasreddin Hodja,
I want to ask those who accuse me – he has never heard Sebastian Brant?
-. I think that few people know this writer in 1494 wrote the book “THE SHIP OF FOOLS”
(there are beautiful engravings of Durer).
In the Middle Ages to be “crazy” meant to be “sinners”,
then “guilty”, only the divine forgiveness could free them.
But I still wonder: – because you are always sure that all spend time looking
at catalogs for ideas of others? -. I enjoy more than studying.
Now, I know that the problem of plagiarism exists (I repeat many times),
but I wait to read your excuses for what I’m concerned.
Sincerely,

Alessandro Gatto

Degerli Karikaturcu Dostlarim..

Bu karikaturume iliskin bazi olumsuz mailler aldigimdan
kisa bir aciklama yapma geregi duyuyorum.
  Karikaturumde Juri uyelerini degil sonuclardaki similara karsi oldugumu soylemek istemisem..
Ben Juri uyelerinin hepisine cok sayginim ve her birine saygi gostermegi kendime borc biliyorum..
Nasrettin Hoca, arkasini dönerek bir anlamda sonuclari protesto etmektedir.
Sadece Juri sonuclarinin degistirilmemesine bir etirazimdir bu…
Umarim her kes bunu anlayabilir..
Bir daha soylerim ki,
Ustad Juri Uyelerine cok buyuk saygilarim vardir
ve onlardan dostluk etdigim arkadaslarim da olmamis degildir…
Sevgilerimle
