SHORT INFO ABOUT JARÚL ORTEGA: Jarúl Ortega was born in Santo Domingo in 1986. After 28 years of drawing in a realistic style closer to fine arts, he was inspired by Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson and decided to be a cartoonist.

Jarúl Ortega describes his cartoon, “The idea of this cartoon was obviously to mix the concepts of peace, represented by the dove and the war represented by the tank. What I sought was to give the blunt message that peace is more powerful than war.”
