Killed Cartoons TP

Description

"Think you live in a society with a free press? Here are nearly one hundred editorial cartoons you wanted to see but weren't allowed to: all were banned for being too hot to handle. Whether spanking pedophile priests, debating the death penalty, blasting President Bush, shocking prudes, or mocking celebrities, these celebrated cartoonists and illustrators learned that newspapers and magazines increasingly play it safe by suppressing satire.

With censored cartoons, many unpublished, by the likes of Garry Trudeau, Doug Marlette, Paul Conrad, Herblock, and Mike Luckovich (all Pulitzer Prize winners or finalists) as well as unearthed editorial illustrations by Normal Rockwell, Edward Sorel, and Anita Kunz, you will find yourself surprised and often shocked by the images themselves--and outraged by the fact that a fearful editor kept you from seeing them. Needed now more than ever because of a neutered press that's more lapdog than watchdog, KILLED CARTOONS will make you laugh, make you angry, and make you think."
