Madam & Eve
9th May 2012
It is perhaps time to vote somebody off the island.
The cartoon Madam & Eve (see right) used to be funny when it was about domestic relations in a formerly institutionally racist society. Now that its focus has turned to South African politics, however, in which I have less interest than belly button lint, and which doesn’t really translate well if you don’t know the characters and situation (which nobody out of South Africa does, I will bet you), it no longer strikes me as sufficiently funny to give it a place in my Cartoons list.
However, if there’s anybody out there who reads it regularly, sing out in the comments. Otherwise it will be expunged come Saturday morning.
