Greetings from This Modern World

Summary: A dozen years later, this book still holds up
Review: "Greetings From This Modern World," published back in 1992 collects Tom Tomorrow's politically charged comic strips from 1989 through the end of 1991. While the content itself is over a dozen years old the book still manages to read as if it were published weeks ago with the bulk of its subject matter covering George Bush (Sr.), Iraq and Sadaam Hussein, big government and the warped skewering of 'news' by media broadcasters/publishers/advertisers. While the book will entertain with its razor-sharp aesthetic of sarcasm and political commentary it is somewhat unsettling when realizing how little things have changed since this book was first published.

Summary: Ultimate Modern Satire
Review: For anyone sick of anything in this modern world that we live in, prepare to be entertained.

Tom Tomorrow writes his comic with a well-crafted wit that is for anyone who is tired of the misguided politics and organizations of America. It will make you laught, cry, and wince as you come to realize the pathetic and scary state of our United States, and will inspire you to make a change.

Summary: this title dated, but...
Review: I love Tom Tomorrows's THIS MODERN WORLD, read it avidly in the local alternative press, and so was delighted to find a copy of this particular title at our local public
library.

These cartoons are a bit old now...circa the Gulf War & aftermath. But they're still quite funny...We need Tom's
insights now more than ever with the war-hysteria that is
once again gripping our nation (the Gulf War segments in
this collection take on an eerie ring of familiarity in
recent days).

I've kept up with Tom's latest cartoons and he hasn't
missed a beat. Thank you Tom!

Summary: brave post-postmodern satire of the funniest stripe
Review: Tom Tommorow is a true rebel--unlike most of today's hipsters and ironists, he has the guts to stand for something and stay committed to"outmoded" ideas like peace and social justice while holding on to a damn good sense of humor and an eye for the truly absurd(aka the rich and powerful). His honesty, wit, and,yes, stridency puts him a few notches above any other cartoonist I've seen. Buy the book and you'll look at the culture we live in with new eyes. Peace out
