Go, Read: Nigar Nizar Interview

There's nothing that's particularly newsworthy about this interview with Pakistani cartoonist Nigar Nizar, but a bunch of fascinating glimpses into her cartooning career flash to the front of the room via the profile. This includes the cartoonist's work in textbooks, the support she's found through international cartooning organizations, how she's embraced the role thrust upon her as an ambassador for Pakistan and for Pakistani women, the dearth of formal training available to her even after establishing herself, and the frustration she's felt in having newspapers in Pakistan license foreign material rather than running her own. If you share my fascination with cartooning as a job and what that means for various artists out there, this is a good one.

that's Nizar's signature character Gogi
