    In July 2017, we started Squid Alley, an initiative that shed light on some of the creatives  ( illustrators mostly)  whose work we were in love with. The goal was and still is to get right into it by asking direct and easy questions. We took a pretty long hiatus but we’re back now! And to swing

    Back in high school, my friends and I were described as cartoons. We were referred to as cartoon boys. This was no endearing term but rather, an attempt to demean us and spit on the things we loved. It was a way of saying stop being “childish” and be like the rest of us. But we didn’t

    Welcome to the first part of the 22nd century and gender equality is no longer a pipe dream… well, mostly. From first female presidents to female business moguls and entrepreneurs, the month of March is about Women all over the world, their achievements and what they stand for.

    Is Boxsa the first African comic getting a live-action movie adaptation? Possibly, and we are all the better for it! I’ve been writing about African comics for a while now and have been eagerly waiting for one of them to be adapted into a movie. The way I saw it, we would first need to jump into

    Have you watched Black Panther? It is hands down, the biggest movie release of 2018; so far! It’s drawn mostly admiration and some outrage from people who’ve seen it, those who haven’t and those who think some people are being a tad too extra; the latter is debatable. If you’ve seen it, what did you think? Totally worth

    Beautiful, brilliant, fun, game-changing, provocative, unstoppable, very promising, short – words that describe the lifespan of Kayin and Abeni, an African comic that was fast becoming my absolute favourite.
