Herblock Through the Looking Glass #[nn]

A smiling Herbert Block gazes out from this 1984 W. W. Norton collection, framed alongside one of his own sharp cartoon panels — a television screen showing a suited figure looming over a small, reaching child, a wonderfully apt image for a book subtitled The Reagan Years in Words and Pictures. Block's pen was one of the most incisive in American editorial cartooning, and this volume gathers his commentary on the early 1980s political landscape in one satisfying package. A great find for anyone who appreciates the art of the political cartoon as both humor and history.
