Editorial cartoonists are buffeted by unprecedented challenges from global computer information networks. Newspapers fail, colleagues are dismissed or harried, and they tussle over “selling” gags rather than satire. Graphic Opinions offers a path-breaking group portrait of these artists’ attempts to reconcile economics with a sense of calling. The editors examine the current work and opinions of two dozen prominent cartoonists through profiles and essays about political and social issues. Four examples by each cartoonist illustrate this. Booknews Examines editorial cartooning through interview-based and analytical essays about 24 current young leaders (including four recent Pulitzer Prize winners) who have grafted influences from , and counterculture humor onto earlier innovations, creating new ways of visualizing political issues. Each profile contains four examples of the cartoonist's work. No index. Paper edition (unseen), $24.95. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
