Summary: Don't Stop Thinkin' About Tomorrow,
Review: as our former president put it during his '92 campaign. He's right. Tom Tomorrow is a voice of reason in a time of madness. A brilliant beam of acerbic criticism dissecting and excising the hypocrisy of our time. He is that, and any other flowery, over-descriptive superlative you or I care to devise. This entire review boils down to: buy this, and every other Tom Tomorrow book you can find. Then go buy all of Ruben Bolling's books. Then go get all of the 'The Onion' collections. Those who write this well demand and deserve our support.

Summary: Savage Satire!
Review: Tom Tomorrow has a remarkable talent for using logic and fact where other writers would try to bluff. Unlike many liberal writers, Tomorrow has a full and complete understanding of capitalism and its role in politics. The art and humour are just enough to cushion the blow when Tomorrow reveals the evils committed by those who profess to serve. The work is intended for an American audience, but is relevant worldwide. For instance, Tomorrow's oft-made point about the American Federal Reserve maintaining *minimum* unemployment rates for the benefit of the wealthy is equally valid in Canada (thank you, Bank of Canada). Anyone with even the vaguest interest in politics or current events needs to read as much of This Modern World as they can get their hands on.

Summary: It's funny--what more do you want?
Review: Tom Tomorrow is as far left as they come, but has somehow managed to keep his sense of humor. That's rare for any location on the political spectrum.More importantly, it's valuable. Without the ability to laugh at ourselves and the follies of our society--including its "esteemed leaders"--we'd be in even worse shape than we are (if you can imagine!). You don't have to be a foaming radical to appreciate This Modern World, and even liberals may disagree with some of the anger that shows through these cartoons, but the wit and skill are unmistakable.
