Twenty: Celebrating 20 Years of South Africa's Favourite Cartoon Strip

Madam & Eve Annual's #20

by Stephen Francis, Rico (Illustrator)

Two decades after its conception, this humoristic cartoon series is still South Africa’s best reminder to laugh at itself as a society. Hilarious and iconic, the family of Madam, Eve, Thandi, and Mother Anderson are dysfunctional, chaotic, and an unfailingly satirical reflection of everyday life. Highlighting classic cartoons from the past 20 years, this annual collection is the ultimate collector's item.

Always worth reading.

[LauraW · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an excellent cartoon strip: well-drawn, topical, human, fallible, political, cultural. Well worth the time.
