Ditwits is a South African editorial cartoon created by Jeremy Nell, first published on June 5, 2007, as a daily page one regular in The Times.^[1] (a subsidiary of the Sunday Times), and read by approximately 130000 subscribers^[2]. Ditwits is illustrated in full colour, and appears nationally every day Monday through Friday. No strips appear on Saturdays and Sundays.

Style

Ditwits, up until late October 2007,^[3] was deliberately nonsensical and abstract in its subject matter. Nell has since migrated its focus to commentary surrounding current affairs.
