Hilarious and Brilliant Satire: A Treasure,
By
This review is from: Axis of Trouble: An Arsenal of Troubletown Cartoons (Paperback)
As part of my job as an English Professor, I am a comix scholar. Lloyd Dangle's "Axis of Trouble" is one of the best contributions to the comix genre that I have ever read. Whether the subject is politics, education, religion, or sex, Dangle's insightful drawings and narrative bring the reader to the core of the issues. While this is a collection of strips and not a classic graphic novel, Dangle alerts us to the fragility of American culture and the hilarious behaviors of individuals in a society whose pluralism gets questioned at every turn. In summary, "Axis of Trouble" is funny and very, very smart. I recommend it without hesitation to any reader. One might call it an edgier version of Michael Moore's narrative satire.

Drop Dead Hilarious,

This review is from: Axis of Trouble: An Arsenal of Troubletown Cartoons (Paperback)
Lloyd Dangle's newest collection of Troubletown cartoons, "Axis of Trouble", finds one of America's best political cartoonists in top form. These cartoons illuminate the subtleties of the lying, cheating and stealing of America's power elites in politics, business, and entertainment. I just love the cartoon on page 74, for example, where Dangle nails Donald Rumsfeld engaging in doublespeak, intentionally obfuscating his evil actions.Lloyd is equally adept at poking fun at the absurd failings of us regular joes in daily life. All this is executed in a user friendly shaky wiggly line that beautifully and succinctly describes the artist's exact intent. Lloyd Dangle is hands down the smartest cartoon satirist working today.
