My creative name is Piet Frans. I am a retired international lawyer living very happily with my wife (aka "Poppiekreer") and two dachshunds, (Petrus and Basjan), in Knysna, South Africa.
Now that I have left prosecuting war criminals to others, I am at last free to indulge my true passion - cartooning. It brings me joy, but I enjoy it even more if my creations can make others smile.
And that is what this site is all about.

IGI nor AMOS

Post lawyering, I experimented with a number of ideas as an excuse to draw cartoons. I love telling funny stories and anecdotes and the idea of retelling these stories in a visual format appealed to me.
The next step was to create appropriate characters. It was a slow process, and only in 2015 did the two characters materialise. Then it took some more tome to find names for them and for the series.
Exactly how "Ignoramus" split into Igi and Amos is forgotten, but it was a good choice. It now allows a convenient opening for the majority of the stories - "Neither Igi nor Amos ever ... but, what if?"
I hope to still publish these stories in a book, but during the tribulations of a near universal lockdown, I trust that this version may bring some joy.
