An eagerly awaited album that comes out annually, this year's collection of Zapiro's editorial cartoons was hugely well-received by South Africans and rose to become the bestselling book in the country. Full of delightful satire, the cartoons are informed by a sense of truth and dignity even while tackling sensitive issues and attacking public figures, particularly those in the ruling party. For news hounds who follow current affairs around the globe, this book provides an education on the issues and a bounty of deft political humor.

Media Reviews
In an open society we give space to our artists to be provocative and to push the envelope, even to shock us, even to offend us. [Zapiro] has certainly done that. Good for him, that's what we want. --Anton Harber, director, University of the Witwatersrand journalism program
