This is the best interview I've read with the South African political cartoonist Zapiro, and I've read about two dozen. If you get a chance, fire it up. This goes pretty deep into his past, including his time at SVA and his decision to become a cartoonist when that was a choice that not a lot of people knew how to make in a forceful, real way. It also gets into some of the politics of his cartoons, such as the pressure to spare a public figure if they were perceived as finding some weight as a serious political candidate.
