Koos and the Great Karoo Oil Strike

Thanks to Koos Papenfus for these scans.

Koos and the Great Karoo Oil Strike by Geoff Keays, published by Centaur in 1987.

This humorous comic strip centres around oil discovery on a small farm in the Karoo, with Koos the farmer, Moses his trusted friend, and a cast of others as they seek to restore the area to its pre-discovery tranquility.

    What a wonderful comic. Written and illustrated by my late father Geoff Keays.

      Hi, we have a book called First Words for South African children also illustrated by your father. So many memories as a child and our daughter now also reading it. I saw one of the pictures has a car with a CEM number plate. Did he live in Hermanus at any point?
