Hall Decks Bows of Folly
Just in time for Christmas, Ed Hall has put out his first book of political cartoons, with the soothing title of "Code Red!"
Chronicling the top stories of 2002 and 2003, "Code Red" is a "thought provoking and humorous look at the circus that makes up American politics."
"And," Hall assures us, "no one is spared," including his governor Jeb Bush.
"Code Red" can be ordered online from Halltoons Publishing, www.halltoons.com/code red.html for $10.95 plus $4.00 for shipping and handling, or on Amazon.com.
Ed Hall is the award-winning cartoonist for The Baker County Press in Florida.
Wuerker Co-authors Book on Bush
In "The Madness of King George: The Ingenious Insanity of Our Most ‘Misunderestimated’ President," Matt Wuerker ponders the burning question of the day: at times like these, what did we do to deserve a leader like this?
A combination of cartoons and text, "The Madness of King George" is an overview of the reign of George W. Bush by cartoonist (and AAEC member) Matt Wuerker and writer Michael K. Smith, and has a special introduction by Terry Jones that puts Bush’s foreign policy in context, as only this founding member of Monty Python could.
The book also includes a big bonus poster, "Bush/Cheney’s 31 Greatest Accomplishments/31 Reasons to Vote."
"The Madness of King George" is published by Common Courage Press. It’s 184 pages and sells for $14.95.
From Rudy Park to Candorville
Darrin Bell’s second daily strip, "Candorville," debuted Sunday, October 19, in a number of papers, including the L.A. Times and Chicago Tribune.
"I’ve been developing this strip for 10 years," Bell wrote in an e-mail, "so I’m pretty excited about this.
"Needless to say, drawing two syndicated strips is going to leave me much less time for freelancing editorials. I’ll try to compensate by sticking as much editorial commentary into the strip as possible."
"If it’s not in your paper, and you’d care to see it, it’ll be on comics.com starting Tuesday, and it’ll also be on uclick and mycomicspage.com in the near future."
