ISBN: 9780882890272.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 139 leading editorial\ncartoonists from the United States and Canada, inspire their creative talents\nwith the major political issues of 1973, and the result is this provocative\npictorial history of one of the Twentieth Century�s most tumultuous years.\nThis, the second volume of the\nseries, features the graphic commentary of virtually every major editorial\ncartoonist working in North America today, including twelve Pulitzer Prize\nwinners. Topics range from Watergate, the energy crisis, and America�s returning\nPOWs, to a score of other events and issues.\nThe 375 editorial cartoons\ncontained in this work�at once biting, perceptive, and humorous�represent the\nmost outstanding examples of the art from a variety of media�newspapers,\nmagazines, television, and cartoon syndicates�and reflect a broad range of\npolitical thought and conviction. Liberal and conservative, radical and\nmiddle-of-the-road�virtually every political philosophy finds expression within\nthese pages.\nThe revelations of Watergate, of\ncourse, provided a fertile field of ideas for every editorial cartoonist during\n1973, and some of this year�s outstanding works focused upon this and related\ntopics. Many other issues, however, also claimed the attention of the general\npublic and of editorial cartoonists as well: the emotion-packed return of\nhundreds of American POWs following years of imprisonment in North Vietnamese\njails; the new war in the Middle East; President Nixon�s battles with Congress\nand the press; the precedent-setting resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew;\nand a new trend in U.S. Supreme Court decisions concerning obscenity and\npornography.\nAs in the previous editions, this\nvolume is edited by Charles Brooks, former president of the Association of\nAmerican Editorial Cartoonists and winner of numerous awards for cartooning\nexcellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pelican Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44989926801461,"sku":"ByrdShop_0882890271","price":90.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780882890272_5087d7e4-a47a-4c5d-9d10-a42fb1fa4225.jpg?v=1778677964","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/best-editorial-cartoons-of-the-year-1974-9780882890272","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
