Summary

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 in the New Yorker Book of Political Cartoonsare masters at capturing the sublime (egos) and the ridiculous (rascals) with pen and ink, sketching the foibles of politics, politicians, and the electorate brilliantly. As renowned humorist and satirist Christopher Buckley says in his wonderful introduction, "In the end, it's the New Yorker cartoonists, not the jabbering TV talking heads or pundits or spin doctors, who are the true gnostics of American politics, the keepers and tellers of its deepest truths." All that and they're funny, too!
