Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
This sequel to the popular collection of syndicated alternative cartoonists features 21 more artists of all styles and opinions. Many will be familiar to readers of weekly or even daily papers, like Aaron McGruder (Boondocks) and Max Cannon (Red Meat); others, including Emily Flake and Tim Kreider, are still building venues. Controversial syndicated cartoonist Rall deftly scoured the alternative press for this group and conducted short, entertaining interviews with each cartoonist, included here. Beyond introducing regional talents like Flake and Kreider to a larger audience, the book also encapsulates an, er, attitude prevalent in today's syndicated comics: humor is a constant, but these days it's strongly laced with sarcasm, cynicism and a certain amount of neurosis, perhaps more now than ever before. The other trend is a strong retreat from drawing as an end in itself. These cartoonists are, generally, writers who use the medium to get across verbal puns or simple, angry screeds, regardless of visual style or any other comics-based concerns. However, there's plenty of talent on display. That David Rees (Get Your War On) only uses clip art for visuals doesn't detract from the cleverness of his dialogue and the poignancy of his themes, while Keith Knight's crude but exuberant cartooning enhances his articulate, if loud, opinions. If this collection's work is slightly uneven, that's a function of its subject matter. This worthy compilation of cartoonists who otherwise wouldn't be seen outside of their local weeklies showcases the continuing vitality of comics as social criticism.

Library Journal
Attitude is something that cartoonist Rall (To Afghanistan and Back) demonstrates in abundance, but in bringing together this anthology of today's best cartoonists working in weekly newspapers and alternative outlets, he also shows a generosity of spirit toward his competition. Rall's superb first Attitude volume was subtitled The New Subversive Political Cartoonists; this follow-up broadens the focus, including some post-9/11 political cartoonists as well as some whose work is more general social commentary. Rall interviews 21 cartoonists and provides numerous samples of their work. Among the best known are Alison Bechdel (Dykes To Watch Out For), Aaron McGruder (Boondocks), Marian Henley (Maxine), and clip-art expert David Rees (Get Your War On). The contents range from scathing satire to head-scratching strangeness, and Rall's interviews go beyond standard "where do you get your ideas?" questions. With mature content, this is one for adult collections, for which it's highly recommended. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

    Reclaiming the comics page

    Don't buy this book if your favorite comic strip is 'The Family Circus' or 'Love Is...' Do buy this book if you enjoy the medium, don't get offended by jokes about homosexual sex, pedophilia, and/or incredibly coarse language. But if you do buy it, you'll be rewarded. The array of styles, jokes, humor genres, etc. is incredible. Some stand out from the others -- most especially, Greg Peters' 'Suspect Device' and Neil Swaab's 'Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles.' Very different from one another, but two guys whose work displays the kind of wit and visciousness that you won't find on pages 8 and 9 of your local daily's 'Living' section.
