Description

A full-colour trouncing of the Bush Dynasty from cult favourite Village Voice cartoonist Ward Sutton, Sutton Impact brings together for the first time the artist's hilarious and irreverent social commentary and vivid poster art. More than 200 pieces document the social flights and folly of an era, from politics to popular music, excoriating the USA Patriot Act, John Ashcroft's evangelical songwriting, the Democrats' domestic blunders and much more. This collection also includes a section of post-election cartoons from late 2004 and early 2005.

Reviews

I love Ward Sutton's smart, sharp, funny cartoons. In these grim horrific times, the satiric hilarity ofSutton Impactwill cheer you up slightly. Matt Groening


If Ward Sutton weren't so creepily accurate with his cartoons, I would be doubled over with laughter still. Joe Garden, The Onion


Ward Sutton's satire doesn't just bite, it maims. He's the perfect cartoonist for our discordant times. Steven Colbert
