More About This Book

Overview

Paul Jamiol's World - A Collection of Political Cartoons from the Pen of Paul Jamiol (2008-2010) is not just a book of cartoons. It showcases snapshots of a time period, and the person taking those snapshots is cartoonist Paul Jamiol, using his pen and drawing board as the camera.

2008 through 2010 were years of upheaval and change. It was the end of the Bush era and the beginning of the Obama era. We, as a nation, all looked at what happened during those years with a very different perspective. This book of political cartoons is how Jamiol saw this period. These "snapshots" were selected from over 450 cartoons that Paul drew on issues throughout these years.

Is it a slanted view? Many would say it is. Is it an honest view? Paul Jamiol would say "most definitely." What matters most is that it's an unflinching view.

Paul Jamiol has been cartooning for more than 40 years. He has been recognized for his work locally, nationally and internationally. His political cartoons have been featured in multiple newspapers and magazines, and on the Internet.

Paul entered the world of editorial cartooning by drawing for one local newspaper (The Watertown Sun in Watertown, MA). He ended up drawing for several regional newspapers every week, commenting on a different issue for each paper.

He has won many awards for his vision of the world around us, including several awards from state, regional and national press associations (New England Press Association, Suburban Newspapers of America, Massachusetts Press Association, etc.).

Some say Jamiol's view of the world leans left, but he consistently takes all sides to task. It's not in the interest of fairness, but more like "if you're doing something to hurt people, you should be called on it." Jamiol follows this credo throughout his work.

    An incredible, thought-provoking, poignant journey...

    At first glance, this is a great collection of political cartoons from 2008-2010 - the end of the Bush administration and the beginning of Obama’s. But once you start reading it, you realize it’s much, much more... First and most important, this artist is talented. Paul Jamiol doesn’t just draw cartoons. He creates them. By his incredible way with shading and coloring, he brings them alive. With his range of facial inflections, he shows emotion. Some of the cartoons are humorous, some are heart-breaking, and others blatantly slam the point home. Issues I thought I understood are not as clear-cut when Jamiol puts them under his pen. With his open and honest appraisal of a certain issue, he brings to light many more aspects of that issue for others to contemplate. I would recommend this book to anyone, whether right or left or in the middle. This classic collection covers a time most of us think we know about, only to find out there is so much we missed. This journey through Jamiol’s eyes is a trip you won’t forget. Give a copy of Paul Jamiol's World - A Collection of Political Cartoons from the Pen of Paul Jamiol (2008-2010) to a good friend, but don’t forget to get a copy for yourself. This wonderful collection deserves a place of honor on your bookshelf.
