I sit down with political cartoonist George Alexopoulos (@GPrime85)—a man whose four-panel strips have shaken the internet and captured the raw emotions of our times.
George shares his journey from doodling in school to creating comics that reach millions. We dive into:
Why he refuses to stay silent in a politically hostile art industry
How one cartoon about the Ukrainian girl in North Carolina gained 5.4M+ views in just two days
The battle between human creativity and AI art
Why artists must be truth-tellers, even if it costs them everything
This is a powerful conversation about art, tragedy, censorship, faith, and fighting for truth through creativity.
