Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. ![]() ![]() 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. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
