Customer Reviews

nice intro to some lesser known cartoonists

I had wished there were more cartoons and less interview text (3 1/2 stars?), but this collection was nonetheless a good introduction to some artists that you might not otherwise find in mainstream publications. The cartoons are not strictly limited to anti-Republican and anti-corporation themes but cover a range of topics including race relations, global warming, consumer culture, etc. As a reader of the NY Times and Village Voice, I was familiar with the work of Ted Rall, Tom Tomorrow, and Ward Sutton. After finishing Attitude, I ordered a copy of Andy Singer's Cartoons, which is even smaller in size but excellent.
