I read many of these cartoons when they came out about...oh, so long ago, when George W. Bush was president. I think this is an important book to read at this time, especially if you find yourself longing for the good old days of Bush 43. This will remind you of the eerie similarities between that administration and this one, and help you answer that question people INSIST on asking "How in the world did Trump become president?" Read this (it's easy, all cartoons), and you will just say "Oh". Highly recommended, especially for those who insist on viewing the past through rose-colored glasses and saying "Don't you miss him?" ( ) A fine collection of "This Modern World", the political comic strip that uses a liberal penguin named Sparky, and slightly exaggerated (but only slightly) right-wing icons to lampoon Bush and company. I'm amazed at how frequently the author is able to skewer the far right's positions and actions so succinctly in a small series of panels - and make you laugh at the same time.
Every once in a while, there’s a clever artistic concept, as when Dick Cheney is drawn as the Batman villain The Penguin or when a Republican congresswoman’s racist comment is illustrated with little pictures of a Simpsons character or when the Iraqi war rationales are symbolized by a Moebius strip, but they’re relatively few.

Images inspired by vintage American advertising, science fiction, and Norman Rockwell idylls are, in his hands, the means by which to keep laughing instead of crying at the feral descent of our politics and culture. In his weekly cartoon strip, This Modern World, "Tom Tomorrow uses images traced from photographic references (running from 1950s advertising art to recent shots of politicians) and a multipaneled comic-strip format to create a distinctive kind of postmodern editorial cartoon," writes Booklist. And the results are uproarious-and popular. His cartoons appear in about 130 alternative weeklies-making him the most recognizable cartoonist of the counterculture. His work is also seen in mainstream sources such as The New York Times and Salon, and on bestselling book covers, including Weapons of Mass Deception. This collection is the very first to present Tom Tomorrow's work in full color, as he originally produces his cartoons. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
