I will be interviewed on Florida’s WGCU public radio on Wednesday January 27, 12-1pm EST. You can listen in live through their website. This is in conjunction with my visit to Florida to address the Southwest Florida Speakers Assembly on Thursday, January 28.

I will be on the road addressing other groups in the weeks ahead. On February 12, I will one of the featured guests at the Generations Forum, an interesting conference sponsored by The Economist in Geneva, Switzerland. If you ever wanted to see behind the scenes about how The Economist is put together, this may be of interest to you.

On February 19, Kal will be a featured speaker at the Warwick Economic Summit at Warwick University, UK

First Cartoon of the Year

Here’s my most recent cartoon from this week’s edition of The Economist. Any resemblance between the disreputable character portrayed in the cartoon and any cartoonist alive or dead is purely coincidental… more or less.

Kal, The Economist and the Daily Show’s John Oliver

December 21st, 2009 | Category: Economist, News

Recently in Washington DC, The Economist held a fabulous event titled The World in 2010 Festival. It featured a diverse and exhilarating group of speakers speculating on the events and trends for the upcoming year.

Among the guest’s was John Oliver, correspondent for The Daily Show. He delivered a terrific performance  which included a stand up routine and a “Tonight Show” style interview session with Oliver acting as host (See video below). I had the assignment of capturing the day’s events in a cartoon sketchbook. You can see some of the sketches below.

Included in the program was a short talk by me chatting about caricature and Obama in 2010. (see video above)

The Festival also included a trip to the recording of “Meet The Press” where we saw the physically imposing David Gregory interview NYT columnist Tom Friedman.

kal econ cartoon 11-5-09 webHere’s this week’s editorial cartoon from The Economist.  I enjoyed getting the three caricatures in this drawing.  After some false starts I think I am beginning to get the feel for Ahmadinejahd’s face now.
