Astronomy cartoons in Spain
28 October 2009
The famous characters of Quino (Argentina), Schulz (USA) and some of the best Spanish cartoon artists (Forges, Ramón, Mingote, Jiménez) celebrate IYA2009. Mafalda, Charlie Brown, Manolito, Hipo, Popo... wonder about the great mysteries of the Universe in a series of cartoons donated by their creators. They share in this way their talent to communicate Astronomy during this special year.
The cartoons, together with other related Astronomy material, are shown in a special travelling
exhibit which has just been inaugurated on October 25th in the Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos (Tenerife, Spain), the promoter of this special initiative. This is one of the Spanish emblematic IYA2009 national projects.
Most of the material belonging to the exhibit (including 11 out of all 12 cartoons) is available in the Spanish IYA2009 portal web. Two interviews with Forges and Ramón can also be found there.
