Always great to see another Cagle book of political cartoons. Very informative to see the entire portfolio of 20 cartoons that won the Pulitzer Prize for Nick Anderson in 2005.

This review is from: The Best Political Cartoons of the Year, 2006 Edition (Paperback)

Satire is the name of the game.Great book with the best editorial cartoons from all over the world on many topics. They are biting, witty and more. If you can't stand jabs at your favorite politicians, TV, movie stars and more then don't try this book. I think it is just great. If you like this book you can get ones that will come around the corner next year or for years past. Hilarious historical journals.

What can I say? Cagle is unquestionably the best. I read his website every day religiously. So what's not to like about his year-in-review books? They're spectacular.
