Australian cartoonist Tony Lopes bags his 10th Stanley Award


Working the whacky: This is where cartoonist Tony Lopes puts pen to paper to create his crazily hilarious world in the single panel comic strip Insanity Streak.

Tony Lopes has harnessed the intrinsic Aussie funniness and inserted it into his endearing comic strip Insanity Streak.

IF at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. Usually, that means a few times. Try something in more than 10 attempts, and you’re likely to raise a few eyebrows. Cartoonist Tony Lopes received over 200 rejection slips for his single-frame comic strip from a variety of publications, yet he never gave up (though he admits to having only recently completed therapy for his persistence). Is it any wonder then that it should be called Insanity Streak?
