Reviews
Somehow, this collection of cartoons (from the late 80s and early 90s) was disappointing. Peters, more than many editorial cartoonists, goes for the funny bone, but in this collection, he tends to miss a lot more than he hits. For completists.
A nice collection of Mike Peters' often hilarious political cartoons from the Reagan era and just prior. Others may be a little higher up in their craft (Herblock, Oliphant come to mind), but I don't think anybody in the field is as consistently funny as Peters.
Mike Peters, the creator of the hilarious strip "Mother Goose and Grimm", is an equally hilarious creator of editorial cartoons. Not as profound as some like Herblock or Oliphant, he is consistently funnier and always on the mark. This is a collection of his Nixon cartoons, from 1969 to 1975. My favorite is his "Pardon" cartoon on pg. 166.
Collection of editorial cartoons from roughly the 1975-1978 era by the then-editorial cartoonist for the Dayton Daily News.
