(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 28 - Best-selling Italian cartoonist
Zerocalcare said Saturday that he was pulling out of this year's
Lucca Comics & Games festival because Israel's embassy to Italy
is among the event's sponsors.
"Unfortunately, the Israeli embassy's sponsorship is a problem
for me," said the 39-year-old cartoonist.
"When two million people are stuck in Gaza... coming to
celebrate there is impossible for me.
"I am sorry for my publishing house, for the readers and for
myself too". (ANSA).
