The Best of the Year in Editorial Cartoons
The best cartoonists in the world contributed to this collection of the best cartoons of 2009, from Daryl Cagle's Political Cartoonists Index, the most popular cartoon site on the Web (www.cagle.com). More than 600 cartoons cover the major topics of the historic year when America saw its first black president sworn into office. The economy sank despite humungous bailouts and unemployment hit new highs--not to mention the drama of Octomom, Sotomayor, Swine Flue, GM's bankruptcy, Iran's election chaos and the death of Michael Jackson. This cool book chronicles the history of the year 2009 with cartoons you'll never forget.
