Overview

""Insightful and venomously cynical political cartoons . . . Rall straddles stereotypes, avoids party lines like live wires. . . . A true freethinker."" --Las Vegas Mercury There simply isn't a more polarizing, more controversial, or more widely read political and social cartoonist than Ted Rall. Matt Groening: ""Ted Rall makes me laugh out loud.""  Rush Limbaugh: ""What is sad is that such an ignoramus ends up as a prominent cartoonist in major newspapers."" Janet Clayton, L.A. Times editorial page editor: ""He's wonderfully incisive. He has a way of looking at the world that is rarely articulated in editorial cartoons."" Bernard Goldberg, author of 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America: ""There is loathsome and there is beneath loathsome. And then there's Ted Rall."" Love him or hate him, Rall has a unique drawing style and makes caustic social commentary that sets him apart from the pack. America Gone Wild features Rall's most controversial cartoons assembled for the first time in a single collection. Rall views his strips as a vehicle for driving social change. He applies his outrageous sense of humor to volatile topics from 9/11 and the Iraq war to social issues such as unemployment, the environment, and religion. This collection comprises his edgiest material and features lengthy behind-the-scenes commentary from Rall.
