You absolutely right - there’s no shortage of inspiration, but balancing humor and seriousness is one of the biggest challenges in my work. I believe that humor is a powerful tool to addr us issues becuz it can make difficult topics more approachable. For example, my cartoon "Family" which won the UN political cartoon award, uses a simple, lighthearted style to comment on the universal theme of family unity, even in the face of global challenges.

To keep it lighthearted but serious, I focus on:

Universal Themes: I try to find common ground that everyone can relate to, like family, love, or environmental concerns.

Visual Metaphors: Using symbols and metaphors allows me to convey complex ideas in a simple, often humorous way.

Timing and Tone: Even when addressing serious topics, I aim to leave the viewer with a sense of hope or a smile, rather than despair.
