Rico Schacherl is a cartoonist based in Johannesburg, responsible for illustrating the highly successful comic strip Madam & Eve. Born in Austria in 1966, he claims he was drawing cartoons ever since he was old enough to hold a pencil. After less-than-successful studies in graphic design and architecture during the late 80s, Rico decided to get a real job as a cartoonist, where he has made his mark as one of South Africa’s finest. Besides his work on Madam & Eve (with creative partner S Francis), Rico also illustrates in a wide variety of styles ranging from serious editorial or humorous magazine illustrations to children's comics.
