All the Rules Have Changed

Ted Rall’s self-syndicated political comic strip, collected here in a single 1995 issue from Rip Off Press, captures the raw, cynical energy of the mid-90s alternative press. Known for its jagged, minimalist art and sharp leftist commentary, this collection distills Rall’s early work into a potent snapshot of Gen X disillusionment and media critique. Though brief, it’s a key artifact of the era’s underground comix tradition, bridging editorial cartooning with the raw, personal voice of the alternative weeklies.
