He knows what happened, we know...everyone knows The point Latuff tried to makes was that the israeli are doing just the same thing the nazis did....he won the second place because Latuff's image compared the Israeli West Bank barrier with the Nazi concentration camps. Have an example: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/13472644/ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/30112638/ now i ask you....how can he denie the holocaust if he's making a comparisong about it?... he doesn’t denies the holocaust…that proves that you don’t have any idea of who is he.

Latuff is a genius and no one who says otherwise can change that FACT. Its laughable that some people think his comics are an insult, Those who believe that are ignorant and choose to be that way.

I just love how the "liberal" view of VT is a bunch of jocks who push around poor kids like Cho until they snap. At what point did the football players make fun of him for being Korean exactly? Latuff is ignorant of what happened here outside of his own ideas and sensationalist news. He created a drawing of Cho shooting someone in the face almost THE DAY it happened so YES it was too soon. The 33 kids who died were not a grouping of conservative football loving morons. Besides the timing and rhythm of these strips is choppy at best. They're good enough for a Sunday comics spread next to Garfield and under Family Circus. I’m disappointed that merit was found in those three comics.

He makes the majority of his work before anybody requests it for their own publication. Kevin: He would only be “cashing in” if “cash” was involved.

Now that I've read of more of Latuff's background I see that that is not what these ever were. Please note, I AM NOT ENDORSING Latuff's political views.

Art is - primarily - expression, not just commercially-driven distraction. Good for Latuff. What’s this “too soon!” nonsense?
