“It’s a bountiful, browse-able reflection on last year’s good, bad and ugly, all served up with creativity and cleverness.”
—American Profile
In this forty-first annual edition of an acclaimed series, more than four hundred clever and provocative editorial cartoons spotlight and satirize the major events of 2012. With viewpoints from liberal to conservative, no subject is off limits. The wit of the nation’s best cartoonists targets everything from politics, government, and the economy to pop culture and sports.
In 2012, a far-reaching healthcare bill became law, same-sex marriage became legal, and the hard-fought election between Pres. Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney came to a close. Arizona passed a controversial immigration law and Occupy Wall Street occupied the news. Also included in this edition are jests on our nation’s debt of $16 trillion and the Penn State scandal as well as ever-evolving social media.
