Two cartoonists in Egypt push the boundaries of what’s acceptable and find a ready audience
You’re barely 20, you’re Egyptian and you’re a political cartoonist. You hone your craft during the 2011 revolution and learn all the tricks around criticizing authority. After the revolution, you think everything is fair game. But then your editors start rejecting your cartoons and you wonder why your older colleagues seem all too willing to tow the line. What do you do? Like any good millennial, you head to social media, zines, and the parallel media universe online. Meet Anwar and Andeel, two of Egypt’s most daring political cartoonists.
