Well, this is my comic strip so I'm a bit biased, but this collection rocks! If you like strips by guys like Ted Rall, Lloyd Dangle, and Tom Tomorrow you will probably like these. While I'm a left libertarian type guy, my goal of the strip was to highlight truths as I see them, not to take partisan cheap shots. Therefore people take away different meanings from my strips depending on their own political philosophy and personal life experience. You can view the entire collection on my website ([...]) and even download the entire collection as a PDF for free. I priced this collection at the super low price of $[...] on purpose. I want to make it affordable as possible and mitigate any buyer remorse. With about 250 comics in this collection that's less than a penny a chuckle! What a sweet deal!

My title says it all plus this kindle book is only 2 bucks and you'll get a kick out of it. Looks pretty good on the kindle but saving kind of sucks because you can only save a group of strips at a time and not just one. I'm planning to print out some of this strips and send them to a few Tea Party morons I know.
He has a strip showing a man with his arm cutoff and bleeding and saying something like "yeah, but I want to be able to see my own doctor", after reading that I almost choked on my coffee, lol.
Good stuff.

This collection is a great value compared to other editorial cartoon collections available. First and foremost, it is funny. Second, many of the insights are spot on. I wish it were possible to share some of these cartoons on Facebook and Twitter like it's possible to share normal book passages, because this is a voice that deserves to be heard.

The writer/cartoonist tackles a wide variety of topics from an anti-corporatist, pro-libertarian point of view. I didn't agree with all of the implications, but I was both challenged and entertained by this collection. My one quibble is that a few cartoons were too sexual for my taste, though many of those were confronting sexism and homophobia.

If you're into editorial cartoons, this is a must-have.
