Country : Serbia

Comment : Dear Team UMO and dear Friends of Cartoon, thank you on good news, it is my honor to be awarded by Team of Usability Matters Organization in such a great exhibition. Also, I congratulate you for organizing successful World Usability Day.

I don’t know if doing cartoons or comic strips can make World become better place, but let’s at least keep sending funny and clever messages to everyone. So, I’m really happy to see that cartoon exhibitions and other similar events are organized all around the world. Especially if the subject, the idea of competition, is so actual and important, as communication is.

We live surrounded by digital devices which bring us fun, information, help us..., but let’s not forget what life is. That’s why I made cartoon of Three Wise Acts (Monkeys). We have an obligation to see, hear and speak, (or, to see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil). And, according to that, to act properly.

 I wish you many successful events.
