The seed that grew into this guide was planted twenty years before
it was published in the newspaper archives of Rhodes University,
South Africa. As a journalism student the author was leafing
through an old newspaper researching an assignment when he was
struck dumb by a cartoon that, in just a few brushes, conveyed more
than he could ever hope to write on the subject. This drawing of
South Africa's political battlelines has produced not only a
fascinating and informative look at the world of South Africa's
political cartoons, but also at South African politics and
journalism - a world cartoons portray in a way words cannot. Every
day most major newspapers carry a cartoon comment on some topical
subject or event- mostly political in nature. The reader's reaction
to this supposedly humorous comment may vary from a wry smile to an
agreeable full belly laugh, from outrage to righteous
indignation.;What the reactions have in common is that they are
emotional rather than reasoned responses that mask the messages in
the cartoons. In Penpricks not only are the messages revealed, but
at the same time the reader will glimpse South African politics
from the other side of the mirror that the South African press
holds up to its unique society.
