“It has been said that Stefan Popa is the Romanian Daumier of the XXth century. He has got Daumier’s sturdiness of the lines, the harshness of psychological analysis and the accusing acrimony.”
(Guy Laurent)

“Popa’s has created drawings replete with topicalness, great sharp ideas and a suggestive force. Just like Daumier, Steilen or Naudin, Popa’s is the kind of artist who brings cartoon to the rank of major art.”
(L’ECHO DU CENTRE, August 11, 1979)

“I have assisted at his prodigious staging when people are amazed how fast and how well he draws their portraits. Popa’S is friend as loyal as he can be, he’s an extraordinary man in many ways words can say.”
(Tudor Banus)

“Stefan Popa, the Romanian cartoonist, is with no doubt one of the greatest artists of the kind from Europe.”

(CHARENTE LIBRE, 1981)

STEFAN POPA POPA'S IS A FORCE OF THE NATURE...

Stefan Popa POPA'S is the only man who is 4 seconds faster than the computer. It's not every day that you meet a cartoon world champion... Who hasn't seen him, cannot believe it... You should have seen the way he sketched "the clients" in just a few seconds - especially the former clients - with a pencil in his hand. A few small traits and they leave so proud of their shortcomings...this is the most essential...the striking resemblance... There are no people in Europe who can keep the pace with him...and maintain the quality. A certain Cabu in the West, a certain Popa's in the East... Thank you for this brilliant stereo! As long as we are not able to cross Europe, than at least let's cross cartoon.
