New Yorker Book of Political Cartoons

FROM THE PUBLISHER

"Does our political system confer power or just raise powerlessness to the highest degree? That's every citizen's hilarious quandary, and each of these timeless New Yorker cartoons laughingly casts its own vote. The artists are masters at capturing the sublime (egos) and the ridiculous (rascals) with pen and ink, sketching the foibles of politics, politicians, and the electorate brilliantly." "Robert Mankoff - cartoon editor of The New Yorker, president of The Cartoon Bank, and himself a first-rate cartoonist - has drawn from the works of a dream-team of cartoonists, the artists of The New Yorker, and selected 110 as both funny and representative of who we are (and were) in America."--BOOK JACKET.
