@ceanne0218 kalulu is the name of the cartoon not the cartoonist...juha kalulu translates to kalulu the village idiot. You can try contacting Taifa Leo newspaper

Yenyewe Edward Gitau... I have been touched when I've 'discovered' you. The messages u passed in ll those cartoons were very simple clear and true. U showed us the true face of politics, and created a way for others to do the same. You indeed are a talented artist.

Very proud of you wherever u are... and siwezi sahau kutaja... juha kalulu was my favorite read when I was still very young....

I love this!! Does anybody know how I can contact Mr. Kalulu? I would love to interview him.

Now I can put the real face behind good old Juha. Tremendous output, great work!! I hardly ever read Taifa Leo, preferred the Nation, but I used to read Juha and often wondered why it was not in the Nation.

I remember the days when we used to collect these cartoon strips. Gazetti ilikuwa moja mtaani kwa akina nani na kila yule angeweza kusoma alipanga foleni kuisoma hata kama siku tano baadaye. Sisi watoto kisha tuka ya kata yale picha ya vibonzo na kuyabandika kwenya vibata ya exercive book kutengeneza ile tuli iita kalulu Album.
