Brilliant and Beautiful Book

Format: Paperback
I'm familiar with Kal's cartoons more from multiple years of the "Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year" editions than from the Economist. That said, this is a wonderful addition to any collection of political or editorial cartoons, particularly at the asking price (which could have been significantly higher had it not been for a well-funded Kickstarter campaign). This huge softcover book is representative of the best of Kal's work over the couse of his career - highly satirical, highly detailed, and extremely funny for those with the sense to understand it.
