It started as a simple project by a team of cartoonists throwing in ideas and making funny scenes through a culture window. Fast forward the scenes, the project has caught the attention of many Facebook followers who admire cartoons and the issue has turned into an exciting story.
To those who love humor or comedy, or simply enjoy laughter, this could be a timely project that could create great moments of laughter, relaxation and therapy to replace some hectic work schedules or the pressing inanities of the modern day business trend and academic demands. This is a newly-completed hilarious cartoon project based on realistic social scenes and thoughtfully-provoking situations on the ground. It is needless to state here that after going through the project, I personally realized that laughter was inevitable.
With the new dimension assumed by a fair chunk of Zimbabweans to live abroad for various reasons that cover political, economic and social, there has also been a new development of various skills, innovation creativity and talent. The prevailing order has seen more musicians emerge in the Urban groves category, film makers doing their stuff along the same lines with actors, gospel musicians, poets, writers, motivational speakers and dancers. It sounds like more talents have surfaced within the last decade as folks emerge to showcase their talent.
In that vortex of Zimbabwean talent, comics have also come to play. The pacesetter was the cartoon guru Tony Namate who recently came up with a very interesting comic book, as a sequel to his famous works that he jointly created with Boyd Maliki and Geoff Nyarota when they produced Nyati, the comic that rocked Zimbabwe in the nineties and went viral.
Today, through their inspiration, a new talent has been discovered among our Zimbabwean folk. In 2013, Tapiwa Kapurura teamed up with Tafadzwa Tarumbwa to craft a hilarious show named "Overseas Adventures". This is the first of its kind where the two, working like Harold and Kumar, developed ideas and crafted them for entertainment purposes.
In the lucid Overseas Adventures, many scenes are generated through public bar talk, street talk, shared bus rides, church congregations and various other scenes that have happened in the ordinary social lives of diverse people. The project also comes with a continued dosage as scenes unravel and continue to develop into non-stop lifetime moments. For more please click here: http://myafricantales.com
