Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Delectably tart
Review: Tom Tomorrow deftly pens the trials and tribulations of our adulated leaders. No dubbing, the politicians speak for themselves in these strips, and you get to hear both faces of Janus.

Judge, however, for yourselves; neither take my word, nor that of NY Sourpuss from down below. Tomorrow's work is readily available on the net; check it out before you invest your hard-earned cashish.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sparky the Wonder Penguin Triumphant!
Review: Tom Tomorrow gathers his past cartoons, and plenty of rarely-seen or never-seen artwork also, into the first This Modern World compendium. A winner for those unfamiliar with his biting satire, or people who want to sample an overview of his career, or die hard fans. His social and political commentary is right on, and even the older stuff is still timely and relevant. Trace the development of Tom's signature style! See edited and banned cartoons! Choke with laughter at the pointed barbs at ...well, just about everybody!

Covers the Reagan years, bush, Clinton, and the begining of Bush 2 with straightforward criticism, honest humor, and biting satire (Act now and we'll throw in the Irony and Sarcasm COMPLETELY FREE) Tom (aka Dan Perkins) adds commentary and background for many of the strips, especially trhe older ones.

Worth every penny, and indispensible fo lovers of political and satirical humor, or just people who miss Bloom County. Haven't laughed this hard since the Dysfunctional Family Circus was operating. Buy two.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: . . .perfect for This Modern World we live in.
Review: Tom Tomorrow has given me much in the past few years: a terrific comic and now a great blog site. I hope he continues to amaze and amuse for years to come. I'm glad to own this book, and thinking of various strips has helped me endure many a political conversation with my Fox News watchin', Bush supportin' father. Highly recommended if you find yourself in similar situations (and even if you don't).

Summary: The Best...
Review: Tom Tomorrow is simply the best, and this collection is a joy to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tomorrow is the best today
Review: Tom Tomorrow is the best political/topical cartoonist in the nation today, bar none. And he is damn funny. Forget the one-star slam by the NYer who doesn't understand how Dan Perkins has transformed clip art into something entirely new. Tom Tomorrow takes on the fallacies of the left and the right, Democrats and Republicans, and anyone else so pretentious as to deem themselves always right and better than everyone else, and he does it with a real dose of humility that keeps him from falling into the same self-aggrandizing trap. Perfection is the self-delusional goal of those who would use an ideal to mask their frailties and selfish desires. No one is perfect, and the cartoons of Tom Tomorrow are not perfect. They are better than that; they are a voice for REASON in a world and time when greed and insanity rule.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An antidote for BushCo lies ...
Review: Tom Tomorrow pokes fun at political targets of every stripe (even himself), but he gives his sharpest skewering to the neoconservatives that lost 3 million jobs and turned a whopping surplus into a larger deficit in just 3 short years. Tom's brilliant satirical edge is superbly complimented by his razor-sharp illustrations, whick evoke a 1950's-era sci-fi kitsch. Though all the political medacity exposed in his cartoons could lead one to an unmitigated sense of hopelessness, somehow Tom Tomorrow's optimism shines through. My only reservation about this book is that I wish there were more cartoons in color.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow....
Review: Tom Tomorrow should be registered as a national treasure. Intelligent, courageous, ahead of the curve on everything, and yes, very funny: I often find myself laughing out loud at the final panel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: simply excellent
Review: Tom Tomorrows' signature fifty's style comics are a very welcome breath of fresh air in these times of complete stagnation on the hill.
