The artist for the second one is Jordanian caricaturist Emad Hajjaj (Arabic: الرسام عماد حجاج). I met him early on in his career as he began painting his famous cartoon-caricature of Abu-Mahjoob at Al-Rai daily newspaper in 1993. He was invited by the arts college dean at my university to give us graphic-arts students back then a lecture on the art of caricature. I have to admit that I have found it all too boring, so I slipped at the back of the lecture hall and went outside to smoke a ciggie!
Here's his Wiki page IYI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emad_Hajjaj.
Professor of Anthropology, University of Arkansas. Author of Memories of Revolt: The 1936-39 Rebellion and the Palestinian National Past. Co-editor of Palestine, Israel and the Politics of Popular Culture and of Displacement, Diaspora, and Geographies of Identity.
