Khalil Bendib (born Paris, France) is an Algerian fine artist and political cartoonist. Born during the Algerian revolution, Bendib spent 3 years in Morocco before returning to Algeria aged 6. After receiving his Bachelor's degree in Algiers, he left Algeria at the age of 20. He currently resides in Berkeley, California. Bendib became a professional political cartoonist and sculptor/ceramicist after earning his Master's Degree at the University of Southern California in 1982. In 1995, Bendib resigned a position he had held for eight years working for Gannett Newspapers (based at the ''San Bernardino County Sun''). Largely utilizing the internet, Bendib now distributes his political cartoons independently to alternative media outlets outside of the corporate mainstream media. By August 2007, when his first book, ''Mission Accomplished: Wicked Cartoons by America's Most Wanted Political Cartoonist,'' was published, Bendib's cartoons had appeared in more than 1,700 small and mid-sized newspapers. In addition to his work as a cartoonist, Bendib also co-hosts a weekly one-hour radio program called ''Voices of the Middle East and North Africa'' on Pacifica Radio station KPFA (94.1 FM), in Berkeley, California.〔()〕 In 2008, Bendib ran a spoof campaign for President of the United States, claiming to be the first Muslim-American candidate. However, Randall A. Venson, an actual candidate preceded him in 2000.〔()〕 ==Bibliography== * ''Mission Accomplished: Wicked Cartoons by America's Most Wanted Political Cartoonist,'' Olive Branch Press/Interlink Books, 2007 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khalil Bendib」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
