Jacana Media and the Book Lounge invite you to the launch of Don’t Joke! edited by Andy Mason and John Curtis.
South Africa’s cartooning maestros join forces with the new post-apartheid generation to tell the story of the most event-filled year since 1994. Hard-hitting and hilarious, Don’t Joke! brings it all back in a rush of satires, parodies, caricatures and flights-of-fancy that’ll rearrange your head. Featuring nearly 400 cartoons by Zapiro, Madam and Eve, Fred Mouton, Brandan, Yalo, Jerm, Dr Jack, Mgobhozi and many more, Don’t Joke! is living proof that South African cartooning has come of age.
