  6. 'What's So Funny?' - SA History can be Hysterical!

    ANDY MASON on the past and future of the art

    ND MAZIN is South Africa's pre-eminent underground cartoonist who has meticulously recorded a view of pre-liberation and post-apartheid South Africa from the fringe, embracing subcultures and counter-cultures not often observed by the mainstream. His views of South Africa's complex socio-political landscape are drawn not from the public gallery of parliament, but rather from the backline of Muizenberg's surf, which brings a fresh, accessible perspective to his commentary.
    But, more importantly, ND MAZIN is the alter-ego of ANDY MASON, South Africa's pre-eminent historian of South African comic art.
