Funny in a painful way

The weekend's "Madam & Eve" from South Africa. Nice dig on Mugabe, who has driven Zimbabwe into quite a hole in the past decade, from supplying food to other southern African countries to not being able to feed its own people, from a growing black middle class to driving millions into desperate poverty.


It's not even 8:30 and I've already spent an hour on the ice AND I'm both riled and caffeinated. Look out!

One of my favs

This is one of my favorite strips, Madam & Eve. I started reading it when I lived in Cape Town in the early '90s, and try to keep up with it. Some of it rings especially true if you live in South Africa, of course, but usually it doesn't matter. Recent strips have dealt with politics and power outages. Even if the names of politicians and utility companies are different, the themes remain the same no matter where you live!
