The debut collection of Mr. Fish’s searing and hilarious political cartoons, featured in Harper’s, Truthdig, and elsewhere.

—One of the Village Voice‘s Best Comics & Graphic Novels of 2011.

“Mr. Fish dissects the journalistic responsibility he faces as a cartoonist to make it make sense. It being his raw emotional output in response to a given stimuli (government, society, et al.) manifesting itself via pen on paper without regard to the cleverly pointed punchline that will accompany and ultimately define it . . . The drawings are a celebration of the technical mastery and unbridled emotional truth of Dwayne Booth — the Clark Kent to Superman’s Mr. Fish.” —Huffington Post

“Fish’s work . . . makes you want to do something—even if you’re not entirely sure what that something is—to change things for the better, and the feeling stays with you long after the book is closed.” —Verbicide Magazine

This debut volume of political cartoons from the revered Mr. Fish spans politics, popular culture, the economic crisis, the Obama presidency, and much more, where nobody—right, left, nor center—is safe from his razor-edged satire. The volume also includes original essays from Mr. Fish.
