5.0 out of 5 stars Something for everyone, November 24, 2005

Bob in California (CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Big Book of Bush Cartoons (Paperback)

You don't have to hate President Bush to like this book! Granted, most of the cartoonists are liberal and take their best jabs, but the humor in the irony that permeates politics transcends party affiliation. The conservative cartoonists are outstanding, too! With this book, Cagle continues the great job he does every day with his world-famous website. IMHO, anyone who flames this book either a) hasn't read it, or, b) is demonstrating some sort of professional jealousy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cartoonists' Perspective of the Bush Trainwreck, November 7, 2005

By 

Foof (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Big Book of Bush Cartoons (Paperback)

The best political cartoons have a core of truth covered in a thick hide of satire. This is certainly true of this collection put together by Daryl Cagle and Brian Farrington. There probably aren't a lot of people in the world today who find George W. Bush and his minions inspiring in any way whatsoever. Editorial cartoonists are the exception. Bush and co are mercilessly skewered from "go" to "whoa" by cartoonists not only from the USA but also from Canada, Australia, South America and Asia. And that's what makes this volume a better buy than some of the other cartoon collections available which tend to focus on only toons from the USA and Canada. This book gives a world perspective on how Bush and his buffoons are perceived across the planet. There are also conservative cartoons for the minority who still worship at the Bush altar. A great collection from the finest cartoonists in the world today. Something for Scooter and co. to peruse after a long day making license plates and sowing laundry bags.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Highs and Lows of the Bush., March 11, 2006

This review is from: The Big Book of Bush Cartoons (Paperback)

If you wish a whimsical history of the Bush presidency, choose THE BIG BOOK OF BUSH CARTOONS! THE HISTORY OF THE BUSH PRESIDENCY IN CARTOONS! Editorial cartoons gained from the best political cartoonists contribute a diversity of drawing, perspective and focus in revealing the history of Bush's interactions around the world, from his initial hanging chad election to the war in Iraq. Black and white cartoons are as large as a full page, while others are four to a page: all provide fun commentary those with a sense of humor and interest in social and political issues will appreciate.
