All The Rules Have Changed
Cartoon Collection, 1995
Rip Off Press Paperback, 8.5″x11″, 96 pp., $9.95
Ted’s second collection of cartoons, mainly including work from 1992 to 1995, including many editorial and full-page cartoons not published elsewhere. Fetishists of such matters will note that Dave Eggers (McSweeney’s, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius) designed the front and back cover. Unfortunately, Rip Off Press published this beauty in the middle of the Great Comics Distribution Meltdown of 1995, and only a few hundred copies were ever distributed before the print run was pulped.
Alternative Press Review called ATRHC “a great collection of stuff – from cynical to radical, from witty to nasty, but all coming down hard on corporate America and the layers of illusion it promotes and sells as reality. Rall’s is a topsy turvy world in the worthy tradition of the Ranters, antinomians and Luddites of other eras.”
Copies occasionally show up in used bookstores and on eBay, and Ted brings them with him to public appearances. For all practical purposes this book is out-of-print and not available; however, Rip Off Press currently lists the title on their website. Once there, use their search engine to search for “Ted Rall.”
