In memorium Jurij Kosobukin (1950 - 2013)

This week we received the sad news that Jurij Kosobukin passed away after a long illness. I know his cartoons since a long time. I first saw many of them in the catalogues of the Knokke Heist Cartoon festival.

Belgian cartoonist Cost (Constantin Sunnerberg) sent us a nice tribute cartoon to the artist.
Jurij, we'll miss your cartoons!
