We are two Romanian cartoonists sharing a satirical view to our modern world for over 30 years.

These cartoons represent our views on relevant topics, such as war or politics, and people sins, like immorality and shallowness.

Even though our work has been acclaimed by the art community and won many prizes, our main goal is to bring attention to touchy subjects.

cartoon is just because it is making a statement. like a political cartoon. it isn't insulting the talent, though that was a very nice compliment

A character who says "I'll get married once I go back from this war" generally dies in a film/drama/videogame. Another is "I'll retire after this".

    I'm not by any means rich but I dated a girl once who was a complete gold-digger. She would demand me to pay her rent without me living there, I would fill her fridge, buy her clothes, make up and what not and everything was fine until I told her that I wouldn't keep that up forever and that she needed to find a job... We broke up a a few years later she has two children from two different men and she's now single again. Why? Because she tried to make them stay by getting pregnant (and also to receive child support of course...).

    How does it not make sense? It's being corrected from the way man has misinterpreted the word of God over the ages. Where we view the man with millions as rich and the family man as the poor, whereas the family man is rich in many ways other than monetarily, he is rich in love, family, happiness, etc.. What should be the true meaning of 'rich'.

    Comedy has 'seasons'. I would call it evolution, but it isn't always better. The comedy of the 60's falls flat with audiences of today. Chaplin made people laugh back before 'talkies'. Then it was W.C. Fields, the Stooges and Laurel & Hardy. Also, in my opinion the choices on the right are poor choices. Benny is the only funny one.

    Comedy has no seasons !!! Chaplin performed in 1900's - 60's. Anyway, what that have to do with it ? Chaplin was a great person, in front of his time. And above mentioned trio is exceptional, too. Not only because of their comedy, but because of their visionary, too. Not performers only, but involved in social constructivism & social constructionism. They are much more worth than many people, especially ignorant ones. But the last mentioned can't see that. IRA P.S. You don't know, then don't judge. And don't mix pears & apples, too. Learn some, have a nice day ! :)

    I think this actually really s****y, it's bad enough that the whole of humanity's suffering is blamed on women from a story created thousands of years ago, but this basically implies the "age old" idea that women are never satisfied or can never get enough and are only most interested in the highest bidder. Which really doesn't speak very kindly to any sort of depth of character.

    Well most of these are super gross , the one with "women are only after money "and constantly depicting them as pregnant , birthing machines ( like the one with the soldier the only role of the woman is her birthing and getting married it doesn't depict her dreams or how her life is changing) I like the style but the artist lacks originality and is basically drawing for shock value without deeper meaning to his paintings.

    The mainstream version of the original sin story was purposefully mysogenized. They found a version 300 years older that included immortality in the paradise, adam committing the original sind, eve crying out to god and him granting her the ability to give life thereby returning immortality to her! Men have always tried to control and fight over women because we are your connection to eternity!

    sat·ire ˈsaˌtī(ə)r/ noun the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices I can't see how this is trying to say anything other than that the woman chose the bigger Apple and the bigger fig leaf. Where is the satire if it's not a critique of women? Combined with the previous gold digger illustration it's pretty clear the artist thinks women are just after money. Maybe they're also highlighting that men are willing to buy women in this way so in general it's insulting to everybody.

    So naive of you. I think you're smart enough that satirical cartoons use representations a lot, and Adam&Eve is a classical representation of the role of men and women in general. They're the 1st humans on earth, from where everything began. Makes sense that they're the embodiment of the whole human kind (according to the bible of course)

    I think that it may also be connected to the common way of thinking that the veterinary is less skilled or have less medical knowledge than the doctor, so the veterinary doesn't deserve the same amount of respect. While the fact is that the veterinary needs more skill and knowledge, since he sometimes has to help really small and fragile animals and he also has to know how to deal with different animals.
