The International Cartoon Exhibition “Children in War 2” in Drøbak, Norway opened on June 13th.
“Children in War 2” is part of an international traveling exhibition. Its first stop opened in Torhout, Belgium, on May 8, 2026, where it will remain on display until September 30. The Norwegian edition continues this humanitarian journey, presenting artists’ shared opposition to war and violence against children.
Here is my cartoon for the exhibition.:
Le pouvoir caché de la pensée systèmes – Gouverner dans l’urgence climatique – The Hidden Power of Systems Thinking – Governing in the Climate Emergency.
The 2020 book by Ray Ison and Ed Straw has just been translated into French by Houda Khayame. This meant that the 27 diagrams and illustrations that I had developed with Ray Ison needed to be translated and the French words and text integrated into the originals. Alas, my schoolboy French … but a number of translation sites were so helpful.
One of the group, Franck Varenne acknowledged the team involved with the French version.

The 2nd National Small Town Reinvention Conference was held at Kapunda, South Australia, 22-25 September. The cartoons illustrated just some of the many moments and messages over four great days.
The conference was another Peter Kenyon of The Bank of Ideas event. Supported by many – in particular Tony Piccolo MP who brought the conference to Kapunda.
The 28 cartoons were auctioned on the last day, the money raised was donated to the painting of the Kapunda silo art project.
Not that it’s been brought up yet…
And out of exasperation, what is the explanation for this world-wide-throughout-history-but-more-and-more-these-days phenomenon?
