Literary Nonfiction. Political Science. Art. 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 middle—is safe from his razor-edged satire. The volume also includes original essays from Mr. Fish. "You're the first person in the media I've talked to, in the forty years I've been in public life, who put his finger on really what [are] deep philosophical questions"—Dennis Kucinich. "You [Mr. Fish] get the gold medal for asking me things that nobody's ever asked me before"—Joan Baez.
