ANA VON REBEUR, “ROBERTO FONTANARROSA”NIN SÝTESÝNÝ TANITIYOR BÝZLERE..
Roberto Fontanarrosa told that he studied his genealogical tree and that he found that Christopher Columbus mother had his same surname. So, he claimed to be a direct descendant of
His major credit was to create the comic strip done with delirious humor and a touch of poetry and domestic philosophy, all full of hilarious phrases and crazy comparisons. An admirer of Woody Allen, he used parody as his main style, copying in a very funny ways the stories of superheroes, courageous gauchos ( Argentinean cowboys) and heartless mafia men , as his famous character “ Oily Boogie” parodying the “Dirty Harry” played by Clint Eastwood, and turning all of it to the absolute humor, up to a point where you guessed he had a lot of fun doing it .
He had the same quality as a cartoonist, as a comic autor, and as a writer of short stories and novels. His production was amazingly big, but the biggest delight was to meet him in person. In his conferences and lectures he showed such a fast mind and wit , together with the ability to take all solemnity out of the situation , that every lecture of him was full of people laughing out loud . Adults and children were fans of him alike. And he had the inner peace of the performer who knows the play, word by word , and who knows he had the audience in his hand, knowing when exactly to say the most effective joke of the night, the one that will leave the audience at his feet , begging for more . People adored him, grateful of having someone so full of witty ideas . He was the only one who could speak about cursing and the word “shit” during his lecture on the Spanish Language Congress, full of philologist and serious professors who couldn’t stop laughing. His mere presence made everybody laugh. And he was no clown, and he didn’t laugh himself. He just was amazingly natural and smart at the same time.
He wrote 33 humor books, (not counting the one where he participated as illustrator), created a lot of comic strips for different magazines, was cartoonists and writer for Clarín newspaper and a creative collaborator of Les Luthiers comic musical group. His shorts stories had been turned into playwrights for theatre and TV, and were always successful. In 2002 he was member of the jury in Aydin Dogan Foundation International Cartoon Festival in
In the last two years he got a lot of recognition and awards, both in
Fontanarrosa was a great writer, a witty humorist, an impressive artist, a simple, direct, funny man and a football fan who t always preserved his accessible and familiar style , letting everybody feel identified with him. No wonder we are missing him a lot.
Hello dear Er,
below is the English translation of Nizar Outhman’s article that appeared on Assafir.
I did this little “cartoon montage” to illustrate it.
Sincerely,

A Tribute To Their Brush…
By Nizar Outhman (*)
Translated by Adib S. Kawar
‘What astonishes me all the time is the apparent and deep ignorance among my fellow citizens in relation to other cultures and the history of other nations. I am a strong believer that they think that the United States is the greatest place on the surface of the earth, and they are completely unaware of the imperialistic nature of the United States…”
This paragraph was quoted from the dialogue with the cartoonist David Baldinger (link), published by the Iran Cartoon website on the Internet. The point of view of this American artist summarizes the points of view of many other Western caricature artists who oppose the policies of the U.S. Administration put into effect concerning the Middle East.
We are afraid that it shall not be possible to write in detail about all these artists, their cultural backgrounds, their thoughts or their nationalities, or even their effect on their surroundings, but it would be worth focusing on one point that had a great effect on many of them. That point drove them to give up their stance of neutrality towards the line of confrontation against what they considered an unjustified duality that subdued public opinion standards in the West. This was represented by the incident of the Danish caricature drawings, which was met with unprecedented Western support on one side, and the “Holocaust” contest sponsored by the Iranian paper “Hamshari” and the Western condemnation and disapproval on the other side.
The works of those artists is concentrated on this duality, and their mechanisms vary starting with caricature drawings through other activities aimed at criticizing the practiced policies by the United States and Israel in Iraq and Palestine in particular, and in the Middle East in general.
The Belgian artist, Ben Heine, took a personal initiative aimed at focusing the spotlight on Arab causes within caricature circles by organizing dialogue among outstanding cartoonists of the world, concentrating on the paradox that the principle of (freedom of expression) in the West is subdued with, and on the duality of standards that controls this principle.
As for the famous British artist, Banksy (link), well known for his huge murals that transformed the mammoth, racist, apartheid cement wall in occupied Palestine to an exhibition that changed it to a painted language mixing between the beauties of creativity and exposing the sway of occupation, and the extent of the suffering the Palestinian Arabs live under.
The Brazilian artist, Carlos Latuff (link), who won second prize in the Holocaust contest, was subjected to a ferocious propaganda campaign lead by partisans and supporters of the Zionist Israeli “Likud” party. This went to the extent of threatening him with death, because of his drawings that criticized the Zionist war arsenal used in the July 2006 war on Lebanon. In spite of this, Latuff displayed several months ago his caricature drawings in an exhibition organized by Palestinian activists in Amman, Jordan.
One cannot overlook the importance of the positive role played by the Internet, focusing light on these artists and giving them daily political assistance with detailed current affairs. The Internet participated by building bridges between them and Arab caricature artists. In the same framework, one cannot deny the important role played by Arab caricature Internet sites, although proportionally few in number, in giving them space to display their works and promoting their most important activities.
It is unfortunate that many of those world famous artists who enjoy great fame in the international caricature circles, and a high standard of artistic-cultural potentials, are still in general unknown in our Arab circles. Their activities, taken by their own personal efforts, are centered on defending the Arab image. These efforts do not have support or patronage by any Arab organization, institution or society. We do not have to remind any body that they are messengers of civilization that made use of the art of caricature for defending just human causes, among which are Arab causes. They did all possible to defend and demonstrate their justice and weight in Western societies, not caring for the threats that they could be exposed to or the cost they could suffer as a result.

27. Uluslar arasý Nasreddin Hoca Karikatür Yarýþmasý’nda birincilik ödülü alan Igor Nikitin’in karikatürüyle, 1995 yýlýnda Tahran International Cartoon Bienali’nde üçüncülük ödülü alan Marco De Angelis’in karikatürü arasýndaki benzerlikten kaynaklanan kriz (þimdilik) çözüldü. Irancartoon baþkaný Massoud Shojai Tabatabai ve Karikatürcüler Derneði Baþkaný Metin Peker arasýndaki yazýþmalar sonucunda karikatürlerin sadece “benzerlik” taþýdýðýnda görüþ birliðine varýldý. Karþýlýklý iyiniyet sonucu alýnan kararla bu konu kapanmýþ gibi görünüyor. Ancak bizce doðru olan, Nasreddin Hoca jurisinin yeniden toplanýp, ya da internet ortamýnda bu durumu deðerlendirmesi ve açýklamayý öyle yapmasýydý (Zira sonuç bir kiþinin deðil, birçok çizerin kararýyla alýndý). Zaten bu konudaki en doðru karar, iki kiþinin görüþleri alýnarak verilebilir ki; onlar da Igor Nikitin ve Marco De Angelis’tir. Dileðimiz alýnan kararýn “en doðru karar” olmasý.. Zira bu tip gözden kaçan veya kasýtlý yapýlan yanlýþlar, “Nasreddin Hoca” gibi büyük bir organizasyonun baþýný uzun süre aðrýtabilir.
Önemli bir noktayi bir kez daha tekrarlamakta yarar var. Ýstedigimiz kadar dünyanýn en ünlü çizerlerini juride biraraya getirelim (her yarýþma için geçerli), dünya karikatürünü takip etmeyen, ödüllü karikatürlerin farkýna varamayan çizerlerden de söz etmiyoruz anti parantez, tam tersi karikatürle içiçe yaþayan usta çizerlerin bile gözünden kaçabiliyor bu gibi ayrýntýlar.. Ýþte bu son örnekt
