Zapiro has kindly given us permission to post these two cartoons of PW Botha for your edification and delight. The first was done in1985 and the second in 2005, more than 20 years apart! Aspiring cartoonists can take courage in the comparison between Zapiro's early style and his mature style. But his amazing ability to achieve an unmistakable likeness and capture the personality of the subject shines through in both.

It's great to have Zapiro on the blog and over the next six months he will be posting sketchbook pages featuring the preparatory sketches for his published cartoons. A huge boost to our project and a wonderful opportunityto learn from the doyen of SA cartooning!
