ABOUT
I am cartoonist Mehedi Haque from Bangladesh. I started cartooning in 1997 in local daily newspapers and monthly magazines. In 1998 I joined UNMAD, the only cartoon and satire magazine of Bangladesh; now I am serving as the executive editor of that magazine. My career as a political cartoonist started in 2003, when I joined NEW AGE, a leading national daily newspaper. I am still working in that newspaper as Senior Cartoonist. In 2011 Bangladesh Cartoonist Association was formed and I acted as the founder president of this very first formal association of Bangladeshi cartoonists. My own endeavor is a comic book publicationDHAKA COMICS that started its’ journey in 2013. Besides fulltime cartooning, I did my graduation and post-graduation in urban and regional planning.
