Title
Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year - Paperback
by Charles Brooks (Editor)
The year 1988 was a bonanza for cartoonists. The long presidential campaign led the news, culminating in the struggle between George Bush and Michael Dukakis for the White House. But that was not the only news.
The Midwest drought, the Persian Gulf war, the unrest in Israel, Mikhail Gorbachev's continuing campaign for reform, the Geneva summit meeting and the INF treaty, the Seoul Olympics, and the continuing problem of AIDS all provided material for more than 330 cartoons from the pens of cartoonists in the United States and Canada.
Long considered the most definitive collection of editorial cartoons, Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year: 1989 Edition is a must for the political minded, the history buff, the humorist, and the artist.
ABOUT THE EDITOR
Editor Charles Brooks is past president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists and for thirty-eight years was a cartoonist for the Birmingham News. He has been the recipient of thirteen Freedom Foundation Awards, a national VFW Award, two Vigilante Patriot Awards, and a Sigma Delta Chi Award for editorial cartooning.
Brooks' cartoons appear in more than eighty books, including textbooks on political science, economics, and history, as well as encyclopedias and yearbooks. His original cartoons are on display in many libraries' archives.
Author Biography
In addition to his lifetime of work as an editorial cartoonist, Charles Brooks has had another rewarding long-time career: that of editor of Pelican's Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year Series. This landmark series, begun in 1972, showcases the work of editorial cartoonists from the United States and Canada. Throughout his life, Brooks has not only seen history unfold before his eyes, but he also has recorded it for posterity in his cartoons. So, too, do the editorial cartoonists that he chooses to appear in each edition of Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year. The cartoons, inevitably more famous than the cartoonists themselves, become a part of the history that they capture.
