“Peace and Me” (2017) is a classic example of Jorge Blanco’s whimsical and inimtable style. His human-like creations usually possess the half-moon shaped head that he designed as far back as his cartooning days for El Diario de Caracas in the late 1970s: the character of “The Castaway,” a lone man on a tiny scrap of island with a lone palm tree, constantly trying to find rest and relaxation but often thwarted (sometimes by meta-references as the very frame of the cartoon panel itself would break or be important to the events). This tender moment puts the figure in blue, a calming color, while the very small bird at his feet is in white, symbolizing hope. The peace is between man and nature, a whole story told with no words.
