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. Meanwhile, Pravin and Thuli fight the good fight.
Each cartoon is worth a thousand words and helps us make sense of our crazy, beautiful country where fact is indeed stranger than fiction.

Jaar met Fred bevat meer as 400 van sy beste sketse en etse. Die boek
is as’t ware ’n aaneenlopende strokiesprent van Suid-Afrika se wel en
wee oor die afgelope vyf dekades – dit dek alles van groot politieke
storms en sportdramas tot omstrede figure en huismoles.
In sy sketse wys Fred ook die alledaagse dinge wat mense raak. Die
droogtes en die landreën, inflasie wat elke keer net-net voor die
verbruiker by die petrolpomp opdaag, die Springbokke wat verloor en dan
weer wen. Fred het tussendeur ook vir Landbouweekblad, Huisgenoot, Weg!
en dosyne ander publikasies geteken. Sy humor is kurkdroog, sy sketse
komies – en soms ontstellend, maar altyd só bekend.

Zapiro needs no introduction. His 19th annual speaks for itself.
No year would be complete without Zapiro’s annual collection of cartoons, and in this latest book of sharp-witted and well-timed cartoons, Zapiro once again proves himself a satirical genius, ensuring that no event passes by without comment … or a laugh.
Die geliefde dominee Barend Vos se sketse oor die lewe van ’n predikant en sy gesin in ’n plattelandse gemeente het tot op hede in vyf bundels verskyn. Dié sketse verskyn die afgelope tien jaar elke maand in die tydskrif LIG, met illustrasies deur Fred Mouton.
In Liefdegroete, Grootseun word ’n dertigtal van Vos se Grootseun-stukke wat die afgelope jare in Lig verskyn het, byeen gebring as keur van die meer as 100 wat sedert sy laaste versameling verskyn het. Elke rubriek word aangebied as ’n brief wat deur “Grootseun” geskryf word aan sy ouers. Die sketse het meestal ’n sterk humoristiese aanslag en gefokus op ’n plattelandse kerkgemeenskap waarvolgens “Grootseun” die Jongdominee van die gemeente is. Die ruimte is dus plattelands, kerklik en geskryf met ’n deernisvolle aanbod wat eie is aan Vos se skryfstyl.

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.
Desperate Times is the brilliant and unfl inching 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
standout pieces from his political cartoons in The Times, up to the
minute and breathtaking in their bite and wit. Cataloguing two of
the most turbulent years on record, Desperate Times provides an
unsparing critique of political leaders and events at home and
abroad. From Brexit and Megxit to Trump's departure and the arrival
of the Covid-19 pandemic, this collection of exquisitely crafted
cartoons provides vivid proof, were it needed, that we are indeed
living through desperate times.
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.
Soldiers disguised as a herd of cows, cork bath mats for troops
crossing streams and a tank with a piano attachment for camp
concerts are just some of the absurd inventions to be found in this
book of cartoons designed to keep spirits up during the Second
World War. These intricate comic drawings poke gentle fun at both
the instruments of war and the indignity of the air-raid shelter in
Heath Robinson's inimitable style.
