Product Description

A chronicle of the worst years of our lives as seen through the eyes of cartoonist Tom Tomorrow.

For years, Tom Tomorrow's acerbic and hilarious political cartoon, This Modern World, has been among the most recognizable and widely read in alternative press. In his first full-color compilation, Tom looks unflinchingly at what America has become in the years since 9/11 - and where it is likely headed. His cartoons give us a way to laugh instead of cry was we head toward Hell in a Handbasket. This anthology of more than 140 cartoons provides a starkly revealing snapshot of America's political culture at the dawn of the twenty-first century.

Customer Reviews

Helping to endure the pain
Tom Tomorrow helps us survive in This Modern World with his unique political satire. You'll laugh, you'll groan, you'll be enraged at the madness of our times. Buy this book and see the light!

Irony, sarcasm, satire - it's all here. I can think of so many people who ought to read this book.

Funny, funny stuff....
Thanks Tom Tomorrow for a nice piece of work; much appreciated. With all the s*** that is going on right now, it's nice to know that I/we aren't alone in thinking that, yes, the world is going to "Hell in a Handbasket". I can barely stomach the nightly news or paper anymore, and it's been that way for quite some time. The laughs this book gave me lifted my spirits and made me feel like maybe I wasn't quite so alone. Everyone with a brain AND heart should read this book.

Funny as HELL
heh I've always loved Tom Tomorrow's comics and this latest installment does NOT disappoint. Of course, this current adminstration gives him SO much material to work with, maybe we could use part of the revenues to pay down the national debt =P Whaddya say Dan?
