Russian animator Egor Zhgun mashed up audio from Disney’s Three Little Pigs and an Angry Birds graphic style to create Three Big Pigs, an explanation of the situation in the Middle East.

Below are some of the best examples I’ve seen so far from Libya. If you have your own Qaddafi caricatures, share them in the comments.
UPDATE: Some fantastic contributions from Brew readers. Share yours in the comments. By “Ink Dipper” By Ridd By OtherDan By Susette 17 Comments » posted in Cartoon Culture, Qaddafi February 18, 2011 11:00 am
