Happy birthday to the legendary Rhie Won-bok! You've drawn politicians with noses bigger than their promises and smiles sillier than election-day selfies. Who knew cartoons could say so much, even while wearing goofy shoes? Your uncanny knack for capturing powerful truths within exaggerated lines earned you recognition like your Noonsol Award in 1993—and you're still drawing strong!Over many years you've shaped Korean cartoon history—political satire simply wouldn't be as hilarious without you keeping leaders humble with a gentle poke (or pen). May each new year bring sharper pencils, funnier faces, and plenty of reasons that keep both readers laughing—and politicians nervously checking tomorrow’s paper!
