}}Emad Hajjaj ({{lang-ar|عماد حجاج}}) is a Palestinian-Jordanian editorial cartoonist.[1][2][3] He is best known for his work in Al Rai and the Jordan Times daily newspapers.[4]

Life and career

Emad was born in Jordan's West Bank in 1967.[5] He received his art education at Yarmouk University graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1991 after majoring in graphic design and with a minor in journalism.<ref>"Emad Hajjaj," [Biogrraphical Notes], Cartooning for Peace, Online:</ref> Emad is the brother of Osama Hajjaj who is also a cartoonist and political caricaturist.[6] The brothers are acutely aware of the challenges involved in publishing political cartoons in strife-torn Middle East. Both have been victims of intimidation and have received death threats on account of their satirical work, especially for cartoons directed at ISIS.[7]

During the Pan Arab games held in Amman, Emad published a cartoon which pointed out the irony that a nation could be proud when it allowed honor killings to continue.[4] In 2008, an exhibition of his work, featuring 100 drawings was held at the city hall of Ra's al-'Ayn,[8] and he was a contributor to the Lighting Lamps exhibition which was sponsored by the British Council.[9]

Abu Mahjoob

Hajjaj created the cartoon character Abu Mahjoob ({{lang-ar|أبو محجوب}}) in 1993, and has gained in popularity in Jordan since then. Abu Mahjoob represents the common Jordanian man and portrays his every day political, social, and cultural concerns.[10] He wears a pinstripe suit and necktie along with a red keffiyeh and agal, and sports a crooked moustache.

Emad Hajjaj first drew Abu Mahjoob in 1993 as a character who hung candidate posters in the Jordanian parliamentary election that year. Hajjaj based the character on his father in terms of his witty and ironic humor.[11]
