M&G's Top 10 ZAPIRO's
TEN MOST POPULAR CARTOONS FROM 2012
THE MAIL & GUARDIAN has published its annual list of the ten most popular ZAPIRO cartoons of 2012.
It's not an authoritative account of his best cartoons of the year by any measure; the fact that 70% are concentrated within a two month per iod suggests it is more indicative of online reader habits than anything else. Even Zapiro remarks that he finds some of the inclusions surprising.
But it's a good collection nonetheless, made all the more interesting by Zapiro's comments (in the Sidelines column next to each cartoon).
INTERESTING STATS from these 10 cartoons:
- 80% feature President Zuma (at a time when he was suing the cartoonist for defamation).
- HALF OF THOSE feature penises, phallic symbols or nudity!
- ONLY 20% OF THE 2012 CARTOONS feature 2011's Most Popular Cartoon Subject; Julius Malema.
- WE COUNTED THIRTEEN SHOWERHEADS (plus an allusion to one) in the ten cartoons. Can you find them all?
