Go, Read: Spanish Revolution

The Angry Ones protests in Spain haven't exactly crowded the usual partisan battles and celebrity gossip off the front pages (or their equivalent) of US media sources, but hopefully it's on your radar: the street-level movement against politics-as-usual and financial corruption has certainly hit hard and deep with that nation's younger people and artists straining to communicate their general dissatisfaction with the way things are.

Alberto Garcia Marcos of Entrecomics was nice enough to send along one expression of cartoonists trying to grapple with what's going on. The piece by Santiago Garcia & Pepo Perez went up on writer Garcia's blog here, but is also available in an English-language version here. I can't imagine not wanting to at least take notice of these kinds of questions being asked by all manner of affected people, including those who make comics.
