These anthologies are a wonderful way to remember the events of the year gone by. I had forgotten about them until I added this one to LibraryThing, but I've now added the volumes for 2001 to 2009 to my wish list at Amazon.
What strikes me quite a bit about a lot of the cartoons is that they didn’t last. I don’t expect editorial cartoons on issues from 1988 to have much relevance today. The other thing that struck me was how utterly non-subtle many of them are. By that I mean that they don’t make use of the visual element much at all. On the other hand, there are some really great cartoons as well. The 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning went to Berke Breathed for Bloom County.

This is a collection of editorial cartoons from 1991-1992. Very interesting, entertaining, and fun to look back at a time in my life where I obviously didn't see the bigger picture surrounding us all (since I was turning 7 in 1992), and now I can reflect on those years, from a history/historian's perspective.… (plus d'informations)
