EDITORS COMMENTS
"September 1914: A Belgian Artist's Humorous Escape from Wartime Belgium - Ms. Norblin's Journey from Antwerp to London Ms. Norblin, a talented Belgian cartoonist, found herself in the midst of the chaos and danger of the First World War. With the German army advancing towards Antwerp, she knew she had to escape to safety. In this whimsical and poignant series of cartoons, Ms. Norblin chronicles her journey from the besieged city of Antwerp to the safety of London. The first panel shows Ms. Norblin, with a determined look in her eyes, boarding a crowded train, her cartoonist's kit in tow. The train is filled with anxious passengers, each with their own stories of fear and uncertainty. Ms. Norblin's cartoon of herself, sitting on her suitcase, is a testament to the resilience and humor that kept the spirits of the Belgian people alive during these trying times. The next panel shows Ms. Norblin on a ship, braving the rough seas. She is seen leaning over the railing, her hair blowing in the wind, as a sailor offers her a reassuring kiss. The humor in this scene lies in the contrast between the danger of the situation and the lightheartedness of the moment. The final panel shows Ms. Norblin, safe and sound, in a cozy bed, fast asleep. The room is filled with the comforting sounds of London, a world away from the chaos of war-torn Belgium. Ms. Norblin's journey, filled with courage, determination, and a touch of humor, serves as a reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure even the most difficult of circumstances." Ms. Norblin's cartoons, a testament to her bravery and wit, offer a unique perspective on the events of WWI. Through her comical illustrations, she invites us to reflect on the human experience during wartime and the power of humor to bring comfort and hope in the darkest of times.
