Book Description

September 29, 2008

Welcome to a world where George Bush and Dick Cheney are secretly radical leftists trying to destroy the Republican party from within; where Jeffrey Dahmer is a celebrated conservative pundit and the author of such instant bestsellers as Liberals: Kill Them and Eat Them; and where Richard Perle hosts the NeoCon Game Show, awarding fabulous prizes to the contestant with the most outlandishly wrong answers.

Welcome to the world of Tom Tomorrow, whose subversive new anthology skewers the absurdities of American political culture -- and the depravities of the Bush era -- with the sardonic wit and keen insight his many loyal readers have come to expect. From Hurricane Katrina to the latest presidential campaign, these cartoons provide an unflinching look at where we've been -- and just how bright we can expect the future to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than just a compilation, November 10, 2008
By 
B. Kieran (Rochester, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are familiar with his work, which is published around the web and various alternative news weeklies around the country, you might be tempted to think this is just a compilation of those strips put in book format. But it is really more than that - for one thing it easier to browse and enjoy. There are strips here that were either never published, or I missed them. And when read from front to back, they read like an accurate account of the past three years from a politically savvy, sarcastic genius friend. You'll read some of these strips and be amazed at how exactly right he gets it - *as it is happening!*

Great artist, great book - buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'll take Rational America over Real America, November 1, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Tom Tomorrow holds a mirror to Real American readers. Who would think that stating the obvious and great artwork could be so funny?

This is a great holiday gift for any progressive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than ever!, October 1, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This collection of "This Modern World" weekly cartoons from 2005 through early 2008 is the best yet. Trenchant, political, and very funny - and it's all in color too! I suspect that liberal voters will enjoy it ever so much more than members of the Bush Administration.

The introduction is relatively subtle and quite funny in itself - after disclosing that the cartoon has been outsourced to China, "Tom" then gives a wrong name for the strips and casually mentions that he's looking forward to reading them.

Historians will use it as source material to chronicle the U.S.'s strange political history of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. But you don't have to wait to read their histories, you can enjoy the book now and relive all the low points of the last three years.
