A deeply personal selection of drawings from the controversial Bitterkomix duo, Conrad Botes and Anton Kannemeyer, sourced from approximately 120 different sketchbooks and journals to reveal the process, progress and problem solving behind decades’ worth of work.

"A treasure trove of idiosyncratic images - the whole Bitterkomix lexicon, and more. They're located between sketch and finished work so they have an exciting coming-into-being quality in the dark wit and fluid drawing." Shaun de Waal 

"Hierdie boek is beter as 'n dop op 'n Sondag, 'n braaibroodjie, 'n vuurtje en 'n Bok game, iemand wat vir jou vra of jy gewig verloor het of 'n special by jou local bar.  Koop dit nou, chicks gaan meer van jou hou!" Jack Parow
