#690 ft. Sonny Liew - Controversy Through Comics, Being World-Class & Creating Satire on Lee Kuan Yew
What happens when your art pokes too close to the truth? In this episode, Sonny Liew, Eisner-winning cartoonist of The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, joins us to reflect on 10 years of his landmark graphic novel, and how it almost got banned. We dive into his new project on capitalism, the cultural contradictions of Singapore, and why his latest collectible action figures featuring Lee Kuan Yew, Goh Keng Swee and S Rajaratnam, are quietly subversive.
