Hiya, this ‘post’ is inspired by an interesting thing I just read about 5mins ago.

I’ve said some things about cartoons/illustrations in a previous post and also here Caricatures/cartoons/animation are a potent means of expression/communication… Nigeria (I’ll skip using Africa, that might be too broad) doesn’t really have cartoons/animation. We’re more consumers of content than creators/generators of it… (that second quote comes across as a bit…uninformed…perhaps I should clarify it, [...]
