From its modest beginnings in the 'zine world, Tom Tomorrow's cartoons have steadily grown into one of the most recognizible and widely read features in the American press. Appearing regularly in "U.S. News and World Report, The Nation, The New York Times," and more than one hundred other magazines and newspapers, as well as on the web on such popular sites as "Salon," Tom Tomorrow's social and political satire is read by more than twenty million people weekly. Frequently cited in reader polls as one of the most popular features in papers and magazines that feature him, Tom Tomorrow has shown that he has his finger on the pulse of a disenchanted American populace-and the rare ability to infuriate many of the rest. Now, to the delight of new fans and old, "Penguin Soup for the Soul" brings together Sparky, the Wonder Penguin (the most acerbic, cantankerous cartoon animal in the comics business), Biff, and Betty, not to mention the entire cast of modern America-ranging from Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich to media pundits and the entire 105th Congress. So, take a deep breath and prepare for yet another excursion into Tomorrowland. . .… (meer)

Another great collection of Tom Tomorrow's social-political comic strip This Modern World, this volume collects strips from 1999 and 2000, covering the final years of the Clinton White House and the 2000 Election campaign. Always great stuff, chock full of edgy, topical, and fact-based humor poking fun at both the left and the right. A comic-strip time-capsule of the political climate of the end of the century, it's a collection worth revisiting. ( )

This odd weekly strip with a sardonic penguin named Sparky as host is more of an editorial comic. The art is decent enough, although it tends to be the same art with different word balloons from one panel to the next. It's not exactly funny, but it does have a biting and angry wit that I don't see a lot of anywhere else. Also, Sparky has a capacity for exposing the absurdity of the far right's position on many complex issues in a single well-written panel, which is no small feat. He goes after the far left on occasion, too. ( )

It’s wordy, presenting lots of information, and the pictures are there to support and enhance the ideas. Still, the art is needed.
