*** More infos and show notes at humorisart.de/folge8 *** More Humor is Art: www.facebook.com/humorisart/ *** This podcast is usually in German ;) Hugleikur Dagsson is an Islandic Artist best known for his cartoons. More than 100.000 people follow him and his cute yet brutal (-ly honest) cartoons on facebook. I am one of those people and when I saw that he will spend a few weeks in Berlin I thought it would be a great opportunity to get him on the podcast. And it was such a pleasure to meet him, Hugleikur is such a gentle and funny man that ideed "can get away with almost everything". That's at least what a friend told him, when he encouraged him to start doing stand-up comedy, which is now one of his favorite things to do. So he is a cartoon artist, comedian and also writer and director and has his own animated TV-show. Show Notes: In this episode of the Humor is Art podcast we talk about: • How he found his cartoon style and how he quickly became famous • That he is actually more popular in Finland than in Iceland • The madness in Iceland during the European Football Cup 2016 • The fun of being part of a life-podcast during the European Cup • How his typical day looks like (hint: There are no typical days) • How drawing cartoons and performing Stand-Up require different joke writing • His own Animated Show and how he works on it that he neither feels at home at art shows nor at comic book conventions • And of course: Why poop-jokes are the best jokes in the world You can find Hugleikur Dagsson on tumblr and Facebook and you can buy his books and prints on: http://dagsson.com I hope you will enjoy this episode of Humor is Art with Hugleikur Dagsson!
