Book excerpt: "This exhilarating and comprehensive collection of more than 330 classic drawings represents almost a century of the work of American cartoonists and dramatically illustrates the diversity and richness of this popular art form. From the 1890s and the work of Art Young and Thomas Nast to such contemporary artists as Booth and Koren, the book offers a wonderful sampling of the drawings of Charles Addams, Peter Arno, John Held Jr., James Thurber, Gluyas Williams, Richard Taylor, Barbara Shermund, Virgil Partch, Sam Cobean, Dorothy McKay, Boris Drucker, Eldon Dedini, Gahan Wilson, and many more. This is a book to savor, to come back to over and over again." - Lower cover
