Cartoons By Tomy

Following are some cartoons by my cartoonist friend in Havana, Cuba. He goes by the name of "Tomy." He was one of the founders of the Cuban humor supplement, dedeté.


"Bomb Man"

This cartoon refers to the Cuban ex-patriot international terrorist Luis Posada Carriles. Harboring this CIA operative and butcher is contrary to Bush's claim of opposing terrorism in all forms. I guess being a terrorist for the USA makes a person not a terrorist. He is also one person from south of the border that the Bush Administration has no problem with sneaking in illegally.


"We have raised the prohibition to hunt on the border"


"Freedom"


"My God! With prices like those, I wonder what will be the price of a liter of freedom?"

As far as I am able to translate this--I think I am close. If anyone knows exactly, let me know. I don't know Spanish and have to rely on machine translation. I try to make sense out of it from there.


"Beautiful"


"They will not be able to deny that we have the most creative prison system of the world..."


"Operation Miracle"

Soviet political cartoonist Yefimov dies at 108

REUTERS Yefimov 'survived not because of Stalin's generosity of soul, but because his talents as a cartoonist' Wed Oct 1, 4:38 PM ET MOSCOW - Celebrated political cartoonist Boris Yefimov, who drew brutally satirical images of the Soviet Union's foes in the service of Josef Stalin, died Wednesday. He was 108. Yefimov's death was given wide coverage on Russian state television. No cause was given. His cartoons spanned virtually the entire history of the communist state, from shortly after the 1917 revolution to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Among his most memorable drawings was one showing a wretched-looking Hitler, who is said to have ordered Yefimov shot if the Nazis captured Moscow in World War II. Instead, Yefimov was sent after the war to the Nuremburg trials to draw the Nazis as they faced justice. Yefimov also turned his pen against the United States. His Cold War drawings po...
