This latest entry in this venerable series is one of the best--and the most inclusive, too.

Thankfully, it includes many more cartoons from foreign cartoonists. It's wonderful to enjoy an international cartooning perspective.

This review is from: The Best Political Cartoons of the Year, 2008 Edition (Paperback)

This is the fourth edition of Cagle books I have purchased. This one in my humble opinion is the best yet, and that is due to amount of cartoons included herein. This one has more cartoons per page than the 2005-2007 editions and contains a few more pages as well. Hundreds of top political cartoonists are featured, and subjects like the Iraq War are right here next to Paris Hilton and O.J. Simpson.

If you have an interest in the issues of the day and enjoy great cartoons. This book should be a part of your library..This is an excellent purchase.
Five Stars !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Politically Correct? Politically Great!!!!, May 30, 2008

This review is from: The Best Political Cartoons of the Year, 2008 Edition (Paperback)

This book was very entertaining and a great collection of pollitical cartoons. Categorized so that the reader can look at various cartoons about a specific topic (such as the iPhone), this book was easily accessible. Sarcastic, humerous, and in some cases very true, (although not necessarily complete) this is indeed a great collection of some of the best cartoons of 2008's biggest issues.
