Ali Ferzat: “Cartooning Is My Destiny”

I believe this is the first major interview with the cartoonist Ali Ferzat following the tumultuous events of 2011 that saw him injured in an attempt to silence his criticisms of the current Syrian regime, followed by his becoming an international news story and major peace-prize winner. If not, it's the first one I can recall seeing accessible in English. It's very encouraging, and I'm grateful to see Ferzat devoted to both his embattled country and the cartooning profession.

I missed it but Alan Gardner at Daily Cartoonist caught it.
