An hilarious collection of editorial cartoons

Humor's Edge is an hilarious collection of editorial cartoons by Ann Telnaes. Each sharply worded, briskly and cleanly drawn cartoon offers a scathing insight into recent matters of cotemporary politics or daily life, and captions explaining the news events driving the cartoons make their often dark meaning crystal clear. As edgy as the title suggests, and as thought-provoking as it is entertaining, Humor's Edge is a political cartoon compilation that cuts to the quick. Some books are for entertainment, others are for instruction. A few of them in every generation are sources of an inspiration that change s lives and alters destiny.
