My name is Jerm and Jerm Warfare is my brand. 

I am an award-winning cartoonist and podcast host.

My real name is Jeremy Nell, I am a South African, and I live with my family in the countryside on the outskirts of Cape Town.

Living in a failed state has its pros and cons.

• Cons: broken public infrastructure and high crime.
• Pros: it forces self-reliance and less trust in government.

There’s a sense of freedom amid the chaos.

Ultimately, I like living in a country in which some stuff works and lots of stuff is broken.

Cartoons

I began my career as a cartoonist in late 2005 after being retrenched from a dead-end job in the mobile technology sector.
