Review
"The pen may be mightier than the sword, but in Jeff Danziger's hand the point can be lethal." — Bob Schieffer

"Jeff Danziger is everything a great political cartoonist should be in this over-reverential age: savage, merciless, accurate, ribald and blessed with a lovely eye and hand." — John le Carre

"Jeff Danziger's muscular line cracks like a whip, flailing into shreds the hypocrisies that make up the body politic. Drawing like a dream, he renders these smart, witty (often hilarious) comic nightmares. His rage is our solace." — Jules Feiffer

"His ability to draw, his ideas and composition, the import of his work are invariably great." — Arnold Roth

"This is gut-punch stuff." — Frank Miller
