Book excerpt: In 2006, a cartoon in a Danish newspaper depicted the Prophet Mohammed wearing a bomb in his turban. The cartoon created an international incident, with offended Muslims attacking Danish embassies and threatening the life of the cartoonist. Editorial cartoons have been called the most extreme form of criticism society will allow, but not all cartoons are tolerated. Unrestricted by journalistic standards of objectivity, editorial cartoonists wield ire and irony to reveal the naked truths about presidents, celebrities, business leaders, and other public figures. Indeed, since the founding of the republic, cartoonists have made important contributions to and offered critical commentary on our society. Today, however, many syndicated cartoons are relatively generic and gag-related, reflecting a weakening of the newspaper industry's traditional watchdog function. Chris Lamb offers a richly illustrated and engaging history of a still vibrant medium that "forces us to take a look at ourselves for what we are and not what we want to be." The 150 drawings in Drawn to Extremes have left readers howling-sometimes in laughter, but often in protest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walt Handelsman is the recipient of the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. His nationally syndicated editorial cartoons appear regularly in more than eighty-five newspapers around the country. Reprints of his pieces frequently appear in publications including USA Today, the New York Times, and Newsweek. But he is best known as the hometown cartoonist for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, a post he has held since 1989. Now, the wit and political penmanship of this acclaimed artist can be found in a singular collection of his works, Political Gumbo. Covering international issues, nationwide events, and a few points of local interest to Louisiana, this gallery of Handelsman's cartoons is both pointed and poignant. He is able to cover world dramas, from Somalia to the Gulf War to Bosnia to Tiananmen Square, with incredible depth in a single frame. His humor shines well through his commentary on two presidential administrations and a seemingly unending supply of topics, like health care, race relations, tax reform, term limits, and, of course, the campaigns. One hallmark of his work is the ability to bring news from Louisiana into the national editorial foreground. His caricatures of Louisiana notables, like Gov. Edwin Edwards and the ever-controversial David Duke and their political antics, frequently make the op-ed pages outside of the state. His cartoons of Duke's defeat for the governorship in 1992 earned him the Sigma Delta Chi Headliner's Award, presented by the Society of Professional Journalists. He is also a two-time winner of the National Headliner's Club Award.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comic journalism at its best. In 2011, we said farewell to Elizabeth Taylor and Betty Ford and good riddance to Osama bin Ladin. The ever-waning reputation of Pres. Barack Obama prompted Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, and Donald Trump to put in their bids for the presidential election. While gas prices and the national debt rose higher than the possibility of sending another manned craft into space, the scandalous Casey Anthony trial resurfaced memories of O. J. and Nicole Simpson. The latest annual edition of this collection contains these and many other controversial comments referencing politics, the economy, sports, foreign affairs, government, and pop culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s no secret that most New Yorker readers flip through the magazine to look at the cartoons before they ever lay eyes on a word of the text. But what isn’t generally known is that over the decades a growing cadre of women artists have contributed to the witty, memorable cartoons that readers look forward to each week. Now Liza Donnelly, herself a renowned cartoonist with the New Yorker for more than twenty years, has written this wonderful, in-depth celebration of women cartoonists who have graced the pages of the famous magazine from the Roaring Twenties to the present day. An anthology of funny, poignant, and entertaining cartoons, biographical sketches, and social history all in one, VeryFunny Ladies offers a unique slant on 20th-century and early 21st-century America through the humorous perspectives of the talented women who have captured in pictures and captions many of the key social issues of their time. As someone who understands firsthand the cartoonist’s art, Donnelly is in a position to offer distinctive insights on the creative process, the relationships between artists and editors, what it means to be a female cartoonist, and the personalities of the other New Yorker women cartoonists, whom she has known over the years. Very Funny Ladies reveals never-before-published material from The New Yorker archives, including correspondence from Harold Ross, Katharine White, and many others. This book is history of the women of the past who drew cartoons and a celebration of the recent explosion of new talent from cartoonists who are women. Donnelly interviewed many of the living female cartoonists and some of their male counterparts: Roz Chast, Liana Finck, Amy Hwang, Victoria Roberts, Sam Gross, Lee Lorenz, Michael Maslin, Frank Modell, Bob Weber, as well as editors and writers such as David Remnick, Roger Angell, Lee Lorenz, Harriet Walden (legendary editor Harold Ross’s secretary). The New Yorker Senior Editor David Remnick and Cartoon Editor Emma Allen contributed an insightful foreword. Combining a wealth of information with an engaging and charming narrative, plus more than seventy cartoons, along with photographs and self-portraits of the cartoonists, Very Funny Ladies beautifully portrays the art and contributions of the brilliant female cartoonists in America’s greatest magazine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Benjamin Franklin's drawing of the first American political cartoon in 1754 to contemporary cartoonists' blistering attacks on George W. Bush and initial love-affair with Barack Obama, editorial cartoons have been a part of American journalism and politics. American Political Cartoons chronicles the nation's highs and lows in an extensive collection of cartoons that span the entire history of American political cartooning. "Good cartoons hit you primitively and emotionally," said cartoonist Doug Marlette. "A cartoon is a frontal attack, a slam dunk, a cluster bomb." Most cartoonists pride themselves on attacking honestly, if ruthlessly. American Political Cartoons recounts many direct hits, recalling the discomfort of the cartoons' targets---and the delight of their readers. "This is it. On these pages are the drawings and the points that truly make our politics, government, and democracy the enjoyable mess it is Nobody could have assembled and explained it all better and more completely than Stephen Hess and Sandy Northrop. Give yourselves a break. This IS it!" JIM LEHRER, PBS NewsHour

Book excerpt: A lavishly illustrated, witty, and original look at the awesome power of the political cartoon throughout history to enrage, provoke, and amuse. As a former editor of The New York Times Magazine and the longtime editor of The Nation, Victor S. Navasky knows just how transformative—and incendiary—cartoons can be. Here Navasky guides readers through some of the greatest cartoons ever created, including those by George Grosz, David Levine, Herblock, Honoré Daumier, and Ralph Steadman. He recounts how cartoonists and caricaturists have been censored, threatened, incarcerated, and even murdered for their art, and asks what makes this art form, too often dismissed as trivial, so uniquely poised to affect our minds and our hearts. Drawing on his own encounters with would-be censors, interviews with cartoonists, and historical archives from cartoon museums across the globe, Navasky examines the political cartoon as both art and polemic over the centuries. We see afresh images most celebrated for their artistic merit (Picasso's Guernica, Goya's "Duendecitos"), images that provoked outrage (the 2008 Barry Blitt New Yorker cover, which depicted the Obamas as a Muslim and a Black Power militant fist-bumping in the Oval Office), and those that have dictated public discourse (Herblock’s defining portraits of McCarthyism, the Nazi periodical Der Stürmer’s anti-Semitic caricatures). Navasky ties together these and other superlative genre examples to reveal how political cartoons have been not only capturing the zeitgeist throughout history but shaping it as well—and how the most powerful cartoons retain the ability to shock, gall, and inspire long after their creation. Here Victor S. Navasky brilliantly illuminates the true power of one of our most enduringly vital forms of artistic expression.
