Mr. Dinesh B. Singh, Founder, Navrasa Duende said, “Newspaper cartoons around the world have been one of the most impactful ways of making intelligent political commentary with humor. It is an art that is even more relevant today with the growing intolerance to direct criticism. With the creation of The Pocket Punch Brotherhood, we aim to preserve this beautiful, artistic expression of journalism that combines satire and humor, through a global platform.”
“We also want to change perception among the current generation that favor animation more, that there are no replacement to editorial cartooning. In fact, given the reducing attention span of most people, this creative form of journalistic expression is all the more relevant today,” he added.
