Sunday, May 30, 2004 Muslim cartoonist has a different slant - San Francisco Chronicle "Scores of U.S. editorial cartoonists have examined the Abu Ghraib prison controversy, but none of them has matched the biting, almost risque commentary of Khalil Bendib. Bendib knows his humor is not for everyone. He thinks of himself as a social activist with a pen, and is the only prominent Arab and Muslim editorial cartoonist in the United States. Born in Paris and raised in Algeria and Morocco, Bendib, 46, has lived in California since 1977. He now lives in Berkeley. 'Eventually, I hope to see legions of Arab American smart alecks like myself,' says Bendib, whose work is distributed to 1,700 small- and medium- size papers around the United States." |
