Bitterkomix 16

Bitterkomix 16 is a celebration of 21 years of the brash, daring, provocative art of Anton Kannemeyer, known by the pseudonym Joe Dog. In this latest collection, Kannemeyer unflinchingly explores the vigorous debates around race that enliven and shadow daily life in South Africa. Adopting Hergé’s Tintin as the archetypal figure of the white settler, Kannemeyer fearlessly tackles the hypocrisy and racist attitudes of white society as well as the greed and corruption of Africa’s new political elite. Cutting-edge graphics, irony, and the destruction of taboos meet in this visually arresting, thought-provoking collection.
