Zapiro comes of age in this 21st annual.
Zuma once again takes centre stage for all the wrong reasons along with his cronies the Guptas and his nemesis Malema. It’s the year of the hashtag. #RhodesMustFall begat #FeesMustFall, also #Racism/#Sexism and #ZumaMustFall. With Nenegate and SARS wars, it’s the rand that’s really falling.

Wonder Woman, Amazon Princess; Asterix, indefatigable Gaul;
Ozymandias, like Alexander looking for new worlds to conquer.
Comics use classical sources, narrative patterns, and references to
enrich their imaginative worlds and deepen the stories they
present. Son of Classics and Comics explores that rich interaction.
This volume presents thirteen original studies of representations
of the ancient world in the medium of comics. Building on the
foundation established by their groundbreaking Classics and Comics
(OUP, 2011), Kovacs and Marshall have gathered a wide range of
studies with a new, global perspective. Chapters are helpfully
grouped to facilitate classroom use, with sections on receptions of
Homer, on manga, on Asterix, and on the sense of a 'classic' in the
modern world. All Greek and Latin are translated. Lavishly
illustrated, the volume widens the range of available studies on
the reception of the Greek and Roman worlds in comics
significantly, and deepens our understanding of comics as a
literary medium. Son of Classics and Comics will appeal to students
and scholars of classical reception as well as comics fans.
This omnibus edition - now in hardback - contains much of Norman
Thelwell's invaluable advice to aspiring equestrians on how to get
into the saddle and stay there; each item illustrated with
inimitable and deadly clarity. From the first publication of Angels
on Horseback in 1957, the Thelwell pony entered the language and
the libraries of horse-lovers everywhere. The angels in Angels on
Horseback are children, but there is plenty here about their
parents. Both for those who know Thelwell, and for those who have
not met him before, this book is a savoury at all times but
especially after attending a gymkhana. Since their debut appearance
in Punch over sixty years ago, Norman Thelwell's cartoons and
drawings have delighted millions of people all over the world. His
portrayals of sporting pursuits, human beings at play, the life of
the countryside and, of course, ponies, are the products of a
unique comic genius.
1979 was a year of momentous events. In Britain, it began with the
so-called Winter of Discontent, as rubbish piled high in the
streets and the dead went unburied. Later, guerillas stormed the US
Embassy in Tehran, Margaret Thatcher entered Downing Street, and
Sid Vicious died of a heroin overdose while on trial for stabbing
his girlfriend to death. Elsewhere, murderous dictator Saddam
Hussein rose to power in Iraq, America's Three Mile Island nuclear
plant went into meltdown, and there was an anthrax epidemic in
Russia following an accident at a biological weapons plant. But
it's all swings and roundabouts, because 1979 also saw the first
issue of Viz Comic going on sale. And now, with a rousing brass
fanfare to celebrate its 40th year as the country's most flatulent
magazine, Viz is puffing out its cheeks to release its latest
annual - The Trumpeter's Lips. Within the 226 pages of this
lavishly produced hardback you will find the very best bits from
issues 262-271, including * Cartoons: The Fat Slags, Sid the
Sexist, Mrs Brady Old Lady, Roger Mellie, Eight Ace, Buster Gonad,
Big Vern and many, many more * Informative features: Let's Go
Dogging!, Secrets of the White House Shite House, How Did Henry
VIII Mow His Lawn?, Who's Who at a Car Boot Sale, and A Day in the
Life of a Model Railway Enthusiast * Edge-of-your-seat adventures:
In Search of the Giant Squid of Sumatra, The Crown Jewels Mystery,
Wally Walton's Emergency Scorpion Squad and Wall to Wall Carpet
Warehouse, Ballet Nurse on a Pony, Pip of the Peloton, and Bad Bob
the Randy Wonder Dog * More articles, spoof ads, Readers' Letters
and Top Tips than you could shake a really big stick at Just like
our rubbish and dead were piled up in the streets four decades ago,
Viz - The Trumpeter's Lips will be piled up in shops and internet
retailers this Christmas, guaranteeing a "Winter of This Content"
(as specified above) for everyone.
An hilarious canine compendium, essential for new and experienced
dog owners alike. As all dog owners know, man's best friend is a
complex bundle of appetites, instincts, and winsome wiles. Few
first-time owners will realize, however, just what a responsibility
they are taking on. So Norman Thelwell kindly provided them with
this invaluable handbook full of advice on choosing, training,
feeding, exercising, and caring for our four-legged friends. It
also emphasizes the importance of protecting one's own interests -
not to mention those of one's neighbours - for an ill-trained hound
will soon develop a healthy disrespect for law and order. Here is a
superb cartoon collection designed to give every dog owner a new
leash of life in the canine world. From the business of choosing a
puppy and the troubles of training to the foibles of different
breeds, TOP DOG is an indispensable companion for all fans of man's
best friend.
Several strips of South Africa's most popular comic, Madam &
Eve, are collected in this satirical compendium. It follows the
motley crew of Madam, Eve, Thandi, and Mother Anderson-who are like
old friends to most South Africans-as they dash about in their
dysfunctional, chaotic, and totally recognizable South African
household. Important political and world events are experienced by
the characters, providing a current South African perspective with
humor.
Desperate Times is the unmissable new collection of sketches of
contemporary political life by The Times's master of satire, Peter
Brookes. Within these pages, the multiple winner of the British
Press Awards Cartoonist of the Year showcases the stand-out pieces
from his daily cartoons in The Times, up to the minute and
breath-taking in their bite and wit. Desperate Times catalogues one
of the most eventful years on record with Brooke's usual satire and
unsparing critique of political leaders at home and abroad. From
Trump to Biden (literally), and from COVID-19 19 to Brexit, this
peerless collection of hilarious and beautiful cartoons provides a
peerless tonic for these torrid times!
They're back, and better than ever! This year sees the release of
the twenty-first Madam & Eve, and it's another winner from this
sharp and witty creative team. Madam, Eve, Thandi and Mother
Anderson return with their chaotic and totally recognisable South
African household in the latest hilarious reflection of everyday
life in South Africa. Featuring the humour South Africans have come
to know and love, this Madam & Eve promises to be a laugh a
minute, and is sure to be a family favourite and welcome addition
to any bookshelf.
Artist Norman Thelwell is best known for his cartoons depicting
plump, petulant ponies and their young riders, but The Effluent
Society shows another aspect of his work and character. Thelwell
was passionate about the countryside and nature. During his life he
became increasingly concerned about the impact of development,
pollution and society's treatment of the environment. When The
Effluent Society was first published in 1971, his concerns were way
ahead of their time. Today, environmental and conservation issues
are in the mainstream and have become a global priority. Although
the cartoons focus on a serious topic there is no mistaking
Thelwell's inimitable style. He used his talent and humour to
convey a powerful message: the need to protect the environment. He
also takes a wry look at modern life and so-called progress.
Thelwell admitted that out of all his books, The Effluent Society
was the one that gave him the greatest 'personal satisfaction' and,
as such, the re-issue of this title is a fitting tribute to the
artist.
