This political minded cartoon pretty much attacks everything with a humorous angle. The writing and the expressions on people's faces make the book funny. While doing that, he also makes valid points on the media, George Bush, Bill Clinton, and many other issues (from 1994).

"Tune In Tomorrow," published in 1994 collects Tom Tomorrow's comic strips from 1991-1994. During this period, Tom continues to skewer his favorite targets (in true, hilarious fashion) including the American political machine, mass media, and blind consumerism. The highlight of this book is the 10 pages or so of a travelogue to Paris that Sparky (the Penguin) undertakes - a refreshing and brilliant examination of international travel and cultural differences across the Pond.

Tom Tomorrow nails it on every page. It's also an interesting retrospective on politics past.

Last week I read 'Tune in Tomorrow' by Tom Tomorrow. It is a remarkable book; funny, provoking, engaging. All the right elements needed for a timeless work. I would put it in the same stellar company of today's classics such as 'This Week I Married John Wayne Bobbitt' by Dottie Brewer, 'Nasty Snips' by Christopher Teague, 'Reconstructive Microsurgery' by Rollin K Daniel and 'A Thing So Small' by Silence X.
