This Is Wild — 8 years of satire from award-winning political cartoonist Carlos Amato

In his debut collection, political cartoonist Carlos Amato serves up a satirical buffet of the absurdities of recent history, where Trump’s “Magalomania” outshines any cartoonist's wildest imagination, Zuma's political demise resembles a rotten butternut clinging to its braai fate, and South Africa remains a playground for unpunished mischief, all while a trio of viruses enjoy a pint at the pub, proving that sometimes, reality is the best punchline.
