Madam & Eve: Annual 2014 (The New Madam & Eve Collection)

Madam, Eve, Thandi, and Mother Anderson return with their chaotic and totally recognizable South African household in the latest hilarious reflection of everyday life in South Africa. Featuring the humor South Africans have come to know and love, Send in the Clowns explores the social and political issues of South Africa with laughter.

Stephen Francis is the writing half of the Madam & Eve team. Born in the United States in 1949, Stephen moved to South Africa in 1988. In 1992, witnessing the interesting and often funny dynamic between his South African mother-inlaw and her domestic housekeeper, he conceptualised the Madam & Eve strip. Stephen Francis is also an award-winning script writer, and radio and TV personality. Rico forms the other half of the creative team - as illustrator. Born in Austria in 1966, he now lives and works in Johannesburg, and has been drawing cartoons ever since he was old enough to hold a pencil. Besides his work on Madam & Eve, Rico also produces illustrations for a wide range of other publications.
