America Gone Wild: Cartoons by Ted Rall
Cartoon Collection, 2006
Andrews McMeel Paperback, 8″x8″, 160 pp., $12.95
“In addition to political cartoons that have been featured in national newspapers such as the New York Times, this volume includes comics that appeared in the magazine Men’s Health. With these panels, Rall turns his scathing wit on relationships and the human condition.”
—School Library Journal
Ted Rall’s fourth cartoon collection AMERICA GONE WILD collects the work that made him America’s undisputed most controversial cartoonist. Here are the classic “dirty dozen” cartoons that shocked and awed newspaper readers after 9/11: “Terror Widows” and its sequels, “FDNY 2011,” the Pat Tillman series. The real treat here is Rall’s lengthy introduction and commentary, which includes behind-the-scenes looks at the hate mail and death threats that poured in from outraged right-wingers. It may be hard to believe now, with George W. Bush’s popularity rating at a dismal 20 percent, but when Rall penned these cartoons (from 2000 through 2006) he was virtually alone (except for a few other cartoonists) in standing up against a tsunami of patriotism, militarism and nationalism.
