The fun and insightful works of almost 200 cartoonists across the U. S. and Canada are gathered in a volume reflecting numerous viewpoints and observations of political and social actions. From embattled Congressional decision-making processes to a big-spending presidential campaign and the so-called end of welfare, these cartoons are hilarious and pointed. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Canalises Wrath, August 16, 2001

The only way to safely express the feelings Bill Clinton's conduct produces is the editorial cartoon. The man just defies words. So this was a vintage year for cartoonists - and it shows. The cartoons in this book are just great. They canalise wrath into laughter, but also - on social issues - create the awareness that some matters are too serious to be laughed at.

A very good reason to buy this book: it features some of my own work. Really, this is reason enough to buy this excellent volume. Trust me.
