When Penguins Attack!
As the country heads into the non-stop madness of a presidential election, there is nothing that it needs more than a dose of Tom Tomorrow's social and political satire. Read by more than twenty million readers, Tomorrow has his finger on the pulse of the times, to enthrall or enrage - and occasionally both - with his work. "When Penguins Attack " brings back Sparky (the most dyspeptic cartoon animal in the business) and the rest of the cast as Tomorrow casts his perenially jaundiced eye on politics, the media, social trends, and everything else. So sit back and settle in, for Tomorrow is the cartoonist for today.

Tom Tomorrow is a National Treasure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Nobody is safe from the barbs of Sparky, the cynical penguin who's had it with Didactic Republicans and Wimp Democrats. Easily the worlds wordiest cartoon, This Modern World is a strong dose of cynicism towards the White House, Congress, and the corporations that employ them both.I'm sure the work of Tom Tomorrow will be one of the first things John Ashcroft has burned.Sorry, did that raise your Red White and Blue hackles? Think Tom isn't a "REAL" American? Things have gotten to the point that criticism is considered traitorous? Then this book is for you.
Cool comic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
If you're into social and political commentary, this comic is for you.Tomorrow personally takes a lefty stance but he drops daisy cutters on the hypocrisy of politicians and his depiction of a snarling Cheney is enough to give you a coronary from laughing. Of course, Cheney's not in this book, since it's like from 98 to 2000.He also does a good job of ripping on consumerism, though he's kind of barking up a false tree, like most people who rail against consumerism.Overall, I look forward to reading this guy every Monday when he publishes. This book is a pretty good collection of his works, views, etc.-- JJ Timmins
Tom has turned cynicism into a good, well crafted art form
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
These are his cartoons from 1998-early 2000. Relive the mind-numbing media orgy of that intern scandal, in the best way; through his eyes. Examine Tom Tommorrow moving past the threshold of sanity towards a surreal state of constructive cynicism. And it's all your fault! With all your force fed hype on that White House whore(who's name I can't utter due to perminent suppression), Y2K and all the other media tripe. You'll find his sarcastic, biting, cynicism from the introduction to the "about the author" page. All so very theripuetic. It's the biggest breakthrough since primal scream therapy. He also is the most informed and enlightened cartoonist in the country. Genius is so underrated. Pick up any of his books and see for yourself.
