The collection takes its name from the Dr Do-Little character, a pointed lampoon that runs through the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cartoons deal with the AIDS policy debates of the period and the rollout of antiretroviral treatment, and they preserve the satirical voice that made Zapiro one of the best-known commentators on South African public life. The back cover carries press praise and a list of the cartoonist's other collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a record of how a national health controversy was drawn, argued and remembered in newspaper cartoons, the book is of interest to collectors of South African political satire, students of the post-apartheid era and anyone who follows Zapiro's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Zapiro (Jonathan Shapiro)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZapiro is the pen name of Jonathan Shapiro, born in Cape Town in 1958.
