Newspaper Cartoonist Pretended He Was Female to Get Jobs

Posted: 2/7/2011 | By: Rob Tornoe

One of the top editorial cartoonists in Austria is Rachel Gold, who draws for the national Wiener Zeitung and Tiroler Tageszeitung newspapers. Rachel is remarkable, not only because she is a rare, female editorial cartoonist, but also because she's not female, and she doesn't really exist. Rachel Gold is a fictional character, created by Austrian cartoonist Markus Szyszkowitz.
