For close to three decades, Steve Brodner has been a savage editorial cartoonist/illustrator. A superlative craftsman as a caricaturist and a no-holds-barred satirist, Brodner is a familiar and beloved contributor to The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, The Atlantic, Harper's, The New York Times, and more. Freedom Fries is Brodner's absurdly nightmarish journey through the last 30 years of American politics. What a cast of characters: Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II. In addition to the hundreds of mostly full-color cartoons, this volume includes Brodner's own acid-tipped commentary and behind-the-scenes scoops, plus a handful of unpublished cartoons that were just too hot to handle, a "Bushanos" fold-out, and an introduction by Harper Magazine's Lewis Lapham.
