In Memoriam |Semiramis Aydınlık (1930-2008)

Recebi agora a triste noticia que a cartoonista turca Semiramis morreu no dia 2 de Abril. Para alem de ser uma triste perda para o mundo do humor, no qual as mulheres ainda tem de lutar com muito sacrificio para se imporem, perco uma amiga. Sempre prestavel para participar em iniciativas minhas, convivi optimos momentos quando a WittyWorld se reuniu em Istambul. Aqui registo a minha mágoa com esta singela homenagem à sua arte.
