With Pappa in doubt, Anton Kannemeyer returns to the fertile land
that he explored to brilliant satiric effect in Pappa in Afrika
(2010). Once again parodying Herge’s Tintin in the Congo (1931),
Kannemeyer exposes the contradictions and paradoxes of life in the
postcolony. The artist is as provocative as he is playful, and does
not spare himself the relentless, humorous scrutiny to which he
subjects politicians, despots and his neighbours in the leafy
suburbs. In addition to drawings, paintings and prints, the book
features extended comics in which Kannemeyer traces the dawning of
his political consciousness as a young white Afrikaans-speaking
South African, whose life is entwined with the joys and realities
of Africa. His comics and other singular images also confront and
reflect on the racism embedded in language and the physical and
mental violence ingrained in the deeply divided society in which he
lives.
