NOW Who Do We Blame? : Political Cartoons by Tom Toles
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
It's been a decade since political cartoonist Tom Toles collected his panels in book form. He's had a busy decade and plenty of time to further sharpen both his wit, commentary, and pen. NOW Who Do We Blame? presents an editorial master at the top of his game, in all of his whimsical, sometimes scathing, and always insightful glory.
Toles, editorial cartoonist for the Washington Post, includes his favorite frames from the past several years. His subjects include the 9/11 Commission, the 2004 presidential election, terrorism, the Middle East conflict, Yasser Arafat, Afghanistan, Iraq, and of course President George W. Bush. The collection title, in fact, comes from a panel showing Bush at his desk, covered with miniatures of the "GOP White House," "GOP Senate," "GOP House," and "GOP Supreme Court." "Now who do we blame?" asks the puzzled Commander in Chief.
Such is the humor, satire, and intelligence of one of the most accomplished and widely read political cartoonists working today. Toles, who draws himself as the artist working in the lower right corner of his panels, takes on every issue and every powerbroker that crosses the national screen.
Tom Toles ranks as one of the most read, loved, and occasionally reviled political cartoonists in the world. The work of this Pulitzer Prize-winner has regularly graced the pages of numerous newspapers across the country, including the Washington Post, where Tom has drawn and written on staff since 2002. Tom was named Editor & Publisher's 2002 Editorial Cartoonist of the year and the National Cartoonists Society's 2003 Editorial Cartoonist of the Year. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and two children.
