Book Synopsis
A wickedly funny history of America in its most memorable images

Trade Review
"The true stars of this book are the cartoons themselves. During a period when an entire government seems drawn by a sartirist, its instructive to look back at a history of politics reduced to two dimensions." * Village Voice *
"[A] handsome and bracingly irreverent history of the form." * http://www.nysun.com/article/63426>New York Sun *
"Not just a story of cartoons but a history of America through cartoons. A great gift book." * Brian Lehrer Live *
"Dewey makes a strong case that the political cartoons has played a uniquely formative role in American history." * Cartoon News *
"An afternoon with The Art of Ill Will is time well spent, especially when followed by Funny Times, the cartoon monthly, and The Colbert Report." * New York Times Book Review *
