Filmmaker and veteran producer Wale Adenuga (MFR), who is popular for Super Story TV Drama, and Papa Ajasco series, recently shared his vast experience at a cartoon workshop.
The award winning cartoonist and media mogul was a panellist at a recent workshop tagged “Sketch and Satire: The Art & Impact of Editorial Cartooning.”
The event was a moderated panel discussion exploring the role of editorial cartooning and satire in promoting public discourse on political, economic, social, and cultural issues and was organised by United States of America Consulate General, and Punch Media Foundation, on Thursday, February 22, 2024, at 21st Century Technologies Headquarters, Lekki, Lagos.
Adenuga was invited as a key panellist due to his past work as a renowned cartoonist, and publisher of several comics and magazines, including Binta Kids’ Magazine, Superstory Magazine, and Ikebe Super Magazine which, at its peak in the 1970s and 1980s, was selling over 500,000 copies every month.
At the event, Adenuga expressed joy sharing his vast experience and knowledge with fellow cartoonists.
“I am honoured to be one of the panellists at this distinguished event which celebrates the art of cartooning and the overall strategic use of comedy to promote development.
“It is always a joy of mine to share my vast experience and knowledge with the emerging generations of writers, cartoonists, and creatives in general; thus, I appreciate the United States of America Consulate General, and Punch Media Foundation for putting this event together, and having me come onboard to contribute.”
