Publisher's Synopsis

After Bush and Cheney came to power in 2000, Tim Kreider, who previously penned single-panel non-sequiturs in the tradition of B. Kliban, turned his bitter humour on more timely, political issues. His cartoons have been, in the words of Ted Rall, among the most viscerally anti-Bush work around.' As reality has become ever more nightmarish, Kreider has been driven to push the limits of humour to parody. Cynical, astute, blackly hilarious and deeply biased, these cartoons are the equivalent of rifle bullets fired into the heart of the Bush administration.'

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
