Biography

Emad Hajjaj (Arabic: عماد حجاج‎‎) is a political cartoonist from Jordan. He has been described as a leading editorial cartoonist and works for Al rai and the Jordan Times. During the Pan Arab games held in Amman, he published a cartoon which pointed out the irony that a nation could be proud when it allowed Honor killings to continue. In 2008, an exhibition of his work, featuring 100 drawings was held at the city hall of Ra's al-'Ayn, and he was a contributor to the Lighting Lamps exhibition which was sponsored by the British Council.

B'nai B'rith accused Emad Hajjaj of incitement and Antisemitism.

Hajjaj created the cartoon character Abu Mahjoob (Arabic: 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. 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.
