Jonathan shapiro had yearned to be a cartoonist since he was small. But growing up in South Africa under apartheid, he was not free to do as he pleased. As a young white man, he was conscripted into the army, where he was harassed for his radicalism, and put on sentry duty with a dummy rifle made of wood and lead piping. His drawing skills were forcibly squandered on menu illustrations and get-well cards for officers injured in stupid accidents, such as the one who burned himself trying to douse a braai with petrol.
