Cartoonist

Cartoonist

[ June, 2014 ] In the festival at the castle of Trezzo sull’Adda near Milan, there were three cartoonists performing their works.

Cartoons seem popular in Italy, too, and many people were surrounding their desk.

That reminded me of that when I visited Italy long long time ago, I was surprised to see Gatchaman (Japanese cartoon) speaking in Italian on TV.

The man in the photo is Mr.

Sandro Dossi, who started drawing the American cartoon, “Filix the Cat” in 1964 and since then he has been drawing many others such as “Tom and Jerry”, “Pinocchio” and so on.

I did not know that there is a job that making up cartoons according to the local taste, using the world famous characters.

He is the prince of this world in Italy, apparently.
