even in the midst of bombs, threats and lies
my desire is always that
keep humorous windows open
since it reappeared in the war
europe in the Balkans and after the eleven
September
I drew a lot of cartoons about the war
and on its consequences this disorder
global in which we are immersed
and then when I collect books for work
exhibits the plot always to the vignettes
on male violence against women
the two things are precisely tight
intertwined I work since the 80s
with the first anti-violence centers like the
cadmium and I chose this register
humor drones also has for this
topic at the center of the war of the
comics about the war was born one
character
his name is cassandra who laughs and la
his ancestor and the Homeric cassandra
current priestess born a troia
three thousand years ago his prophecies
mostly of misfortune they were not
destined not to be believed listened to
and this is why Cassandra felt
go crazy about a German christa writer
wolf has had an intuition about you
said a humorous trait in each
madness
who knows how to recognize it and use it has won
my cassandra that laughs indeed has
found in humor in this
language
the possibility of a way out
the possibility of re-proportioning the
things and to give back to a measure
human
facts that seem huge and seem
uncontrollable and therefore the possibility
to keep your head in place
to do this humor to many
two story keys one is that who does
humor always starts from a position
of weakness and apparent but perhaps of
weakness like that of children who
they tell the truth or that of cassandra
which was not believed however in the game
complex and also instinctive
of humor this weakness yes
transforms into one a force that displaces
in a flash and then very briefly e
it is a force that then creates a pleasure and
then humor is a relational act ha
need of company to share
this pleasure with others is a
invitation to the game and this is for me I believe
the dream is the desire that really is
became a reality in being able to do one
work that which is that it is an invitation to
playing together
the other figure is that you have to stay in
co-presence and in proximity with
the object in question to make a
really effective work and this is true
mainly for satire I could not
make jokes about stereotypes
cultural heritage that I do not know
good that I do not have a perception of
strong that they do not really touch me at
roots I can do it on things that in
somehow they resonate within me and from
here I am very touched that I hear about
so it happened to the buffoons too
of court
who had to stay there at the throne
of the king to see from there illuminate not
a moment
the intrigues of the courtier i
excesses of royal power and it happens
so also to women who mock
the ogre on duty as in the chronicle of
these last times but in its essence
I believe that the intent of those who do this
that those who make humor are very similar to
that of the child in the fairy tale of
andersen ie unveil that the king is naked

I come from a family with many women
that were the protagonists the
original public of my comics the
family theater was full of tensions
dramas melodramas and this language is
It was a chance for me to say the
my truth to say mine and to do it
also doing my sisters ri then a
twenty years were the seventies I have
met the feminism he has nurtured
and mine strongly encouraged
desire to publicly use this
language literally to publish e
to do it not starting from abstract
claims of rights or ideologies
but to do it starting from me
my emotions experiences and from the
awareness that was being generated
in the exchange in the exchange with the others
today when I put myself at my desk
drawing on the paper first of all are
prey of the most discordant emotions
they can be very confused on that
that I will go to treat can be
very angry there are so many reasons
they can be very anxious because
I am very very very anxious and yet
it is little by little in doing some work
in doing the work little by little
looking for a balance between the text is
the image that is the art of comics
refining a look or the metric of the
abutment addentrandomi gradually to
end
I find a way out is reality
same turns in front of mine
eyes
this can happen on everything in the world
on the relationship between the sexes on the war
on the kitchen on the lyrical works on
on violence as you have seen
I dedicate a lot to feminism on everything
space for many years to the theme of work
I designed dozens of
become hundreds of ironic announcements
of work and an obsession and then also
there are usually born of characters
I do not characterize the characters so much
they are almost archetypes but sometimes ad
some give some nicknames and become one
as some of the landlord someone
that from the conversation to dialogues and in
work was born the sleeping beauty does
the night shift that tells i
crisis changes crisis points
caused by women and women
from entering the labor market
I say the world because it has always worked
and the last born is the laborer
digital that fight against excessive power
of the landowners of the web
of course, too, like the laborer
digital like the sleeping beauty
I too am involved in my work
in the crisis in the great upheavals
of work in the fields that are mine
publishing journalism and
But art is in there with mine
I work in it and then elaborating it
and being witnessed with the cartoons
and somehow transforming it into
this way is in this sense for me it is
a political action a struggle of
liberation with light weapons very much
read what would happen if not there
it was nothing more to laugh
I do not know why Cassandra who does not laugh
foresees the end of the world
