INTERVIEW: STEPHEN FRANCIS AND RICO ON THEIR NEW BOOK—MADAM IMPOSSIBLE

from Styleskoops (English) · host Newskoop

Welcome back to Styleskoops. Madam & Eve has been part of South Africa’s political and social conversation since 1992, using humour to help readers navigate everything from the end of apartheid to the latest scandals and potholes. With their new annual, Madam Impossible, Stephen Francis and Rico once again turn the past year’s chaos into sharp, accessible satire, making this the perfect moment to talk about how their work continues to reflect and survive South Africa’s rollercoaster politics. Stephen is the cartoon’s writer, while Rico does the illustrations. They join us now to tell us all about their new book.
