• Fig. 4. A panel from the South African underground comic Bitterkomix, drawn and written by Conrad Botes and Anton Kannemeyer, juxtaposing rugby and disciplinary violence. For a deep engagement with the particular politics of Bitterkomix and with the implications of those politics for Afrikaner belonging in post-apartheid South Africa, see Barnard’s “Bitterkomix: Notes from the Post-apartheid Underground” (2004). (Panel reprinted with permission of Anton Kannemeyer; from Botes and Kannemeyer 1998, 15.)
