The political cartoon, like fine art, is the creation of an individual that gives it a singular effectiveness. - - Jerry Robinson Combine the wit and insight of 130 leading editorial cartoonists with the headline-making events of a year filled with controversial issues, and the result is this provocative volume of wry satire and social commentary.
