Hell in a Handbasket

This collection gathers political cartoons by Tom Tomorrow that look back over a stretch of stormy years in American public life. Each strip responds to the news of its day, poking fun at politicians, pundits and the wider political scene. Assembled as a full-color volume, the book lets readers revisit the events that shaped the period through the cartoonist's sharp, irreverent eye. It will suit anyone who enjoys political satire and wants to see how the headlines of that time looked when filtered through a single satirist's view.
