Too much is the keyword here. The original design seen to the right suffers from the spiral syndrome along with its nearest cousin the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My interest in the art of caricatures was sparked in the early 90s when I noticed this interesting little scrawny cartoon guy in an old al-Safeer newspaper. It was Palestinian artist Naji al-Ali&#8217;s daily caricature depicting the ravages of the Lebanese war with his signature Handala character. That drawing with its simple lines and minimalist [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve ever heard of Lebanon, chances are you&#8217;re familiar with this country&#8217;s contentious history.

There is plenty of good here and there, but it&#8217;s all surrounded by hate, bigotry, vengeance and [...]]]></description>

Here are six of those focusing on the Iraqi invasion and its infighting, Gaza [...]]]></description>
