Studio Bendid | the pen is funnier than the sword


Anyone who gives a voice to the voiceless deserves a shout out! Khalil Bendib is a Berkeley, California-based award-winning cartoonist published in numerous small and mid-sized newspapers across the USA, as well as in The Black Commentator and various other online publications.

"Born in North Africa under a colonialist French regime, Khalil brings a fresh, non-Eurocentric perspective and a unique voice not usually found in our large, corporate media...His hard-hitting, myth-shattering, platitude-mocking cartoons rarely shy away from the truth, as they seek to expose the crude racial stereotypes, "diss-information" and info-tainment pabulum offered as gospel by our mass media." (Read more at StudioBendib, and to see the larger version of the cartoon go under the cut).
