Reviews

[Matti Karjalainen]

S. Francisin, H. Dugmoren ja Ricon "Madam & Eve" (Like, 2005) on kooste 1990-luvun lopussa ja 2000-luvun alussa julkaissuista stripeistä, joissa käsitellään Etelä-Afrikan silloista (vain silloistako?) tilannetta valkoisen Madamin ja hänen mustan kotiapulaisensa Even kautta. Sarjakuva on hieman sidoksissa aikaansa ja hyvin sidoksissa kulttuuriinsa, mutta jaksoi se joka tapauksessa hymyilyttää. Huumorin keinoin käsitellään yhtä jos toistakin yhteiskunnallista kipupistettä, rasismista HIV:hen.

If you've lived in South Africa, you probably already know Madam and Eve, but if not, you have to check it out.

[Sirja Ellen]

I thought this was very funny and it also dealt with social and politival issues.

[Derek Baldwin]

There's a few of the punchlines that go right over my head, but I've always enjoyed the Madam & Eve strips and this is a good compilation of later ones

[Karen]

I laughed out loud a lot and it was interesting to read the commentary on the strips by the writers.
