Summary: Bleedin' funny.
Review: It's funny, it's poignant, it's the epitome of political satire.
It's the avowed enemy of extremists, and the fearless crusader against fearmongers. And the wonderful thing about it is that it brushes aside all hyperbole (like the worthless writing above) to cut straight to the fundamental absurdities everywhere in politics, the media, and American life.

Summary: A wonderful compilation
Review: The artist as a young man all the way up to the artist as one of the most searing, important, successful, and funny commentators from the progressive left on the world today. From early, amazingly hilarious, zine work, with highlights from the first Bush presidency through Clinton to the head sock puppet we have today, Tomorrow consistently offers doses of laughter and reality.Others have commented on how this book offers value for money -- let me second, third, and fourth that. Recommended.

Summary: Excellent Compilation
Review: The first thing to understand is that this is a "greatest hits" compilation book - and a dang good one, at that. Having boarded the Tom Tomorrow train (alliteration!) only within the past four years, I missed out on years of his brilliant wit and biting satire. The Great Big Book of Tomorrow is a looking glass into our political past, never pulling punches when politicians or situations required a swift kick in the rear. The new contents are spectacular, including several collages and early works of the author, allowing the reader a unique opportunity to observe the progression of the artist's insight into the political world. Furthermore, the selections of older comics are splendid - inclusive of most I, myself, would have chosen to collect for such a book. In all, The Great Big Book of Tomorrow is worth every penny. Those who think otherwise are wrong.

Summary: The Decline of Western Illustration
Review: These other reviews are enough to make somebodyt gag... obviously written by one of Tom Tomorrow's cronies, or maybe even Ted Rall. This exactly the kind of book we need LESS of. Further proof that Clip Art and holier-than-thou witicism don't make up for actual talent and craft! Buy this book if you are a high school english teacher in middle America and want some "poignant" "fresh" political humor... otherwise stay away!

Summary: Good Deal
Review: This book shows the necessary progressions Tom Tomorrow made to become one of one of the best cartoonists out there. Where this book fails to me is the lack of interest I have in some of the older topics that may have been cutting edge at the time, but come off like old political satire on Saturday Night Live where the jokes have exceeded their expiration date. For instance a lot of the Clinton comics just felt like a bad trip down memory lane. I am a bit wrong though as some of the strips from the older Bush presidency have a lot of distinct parallels to the current Bush presidency. All in all this book does give great insight into the long career of Tom Tomorrow. One of my favorite parts was the picture of Tom Tomorrow with Bill O'reilly and the two comics from the Philadelphia Republican convention and the Democratic convention.

Summary: Tomorrow's relevant today!
Review: This guy's the best. He's even better than cartoonist R. Cobb who was popular upwards of 30 years ago. And nothing escapes his pen. Sure, there's a solid tendency toward leftist sympathies. But there's a fabulous cartoon on truth--or lack thereof--in which he questions that Mumia Abu Jamal's supporters disregard Mumia's guilt or innocence. Rather, they rely on him for his political symbolism. (That one ends with Sparky carrying another bag of hate mail!)So there is some balance in the content... If you're into Tomorrow, this is provides a history of his work, and a collection from pre-Reagan even into George W. for whom Tomorrow has roughly the degree of respect that I have. Among the items at which I laugh hardest are Tom's drawings of your "standard, middle class" personality. They all remind one of Ward and June Cleaver, and who could be more stereotypical than they?
Anyway, get this. You won't be able to read it to your kids at night, but it'll make you laugh!
