I love a Cartoon when it becomes a piece of pure human creativity, take this one for example , it is by an Egyptian artist called Sherief Arafa, and it deserves – in my opinion- the first prize in any international Cartoon Biennial, the beauty of this cartoon lies in the fact that it has no comment, and anyone on the face of the earth can understand it, regardless of his or her cultural or social background. however, it contains a deep philosophical idea : “ the angel that you adore is not as innocent as you may think..” , ( a couple of weeks ago I’ve watched a situation that reminded me so much of this cartoon, I guess life does imitate art after all..). The attention to the details is amazing, notice the sarcastic choice of the medieval atmosphere and the glass of wine of the bedside table, and most importantly the expression on each character's face, starting from the mean guy on the bed, to the hopeful look of the miserable lover and at last the face of the girl that carries the smile of someone who knows the truth but prefers to keep it to herself..
A cartoon that is so beautiful and so cruel at the same time..
