MAN, what a game!

Usually the Strika team is at the centre of the sporting action, working on our latest comic adventure. But this time we experienced the game from the sidelines as Man United hit Cape Town for their clash against Kaiser Chiefs. The sun came out (which was unusual for a Cape Town winter) as we ate greasy chips and some of us did our best to blow a vuvuzela... . great inspiration for future stories.

By the people, for the people

Weltevreden is a perfect example of a project created by the community and for the community. The photo comic series tackles issues relevant to farming communities in the Western Cape… and the stars of each story are the farm workers themselves. From animal anti-cruelty to skills development, the community members play out scenarios from their daily lives and the lives of their readers. Once a month, the Strika team (Abi Maynard and David Stein) travels to the beautiful Wellington region to shoot the next chapter in the Weltevreden story. Here, photographer/designer Abi shoots a scene for the latest issue, a story about Foetal Alcohol Syndrome.
