The Future's So Bright I Can't Bear to Look

Additional The Future's So Bright I Can't Bear to Look Information

Welcome to a world where George Bush and Dick Cheney are secretly radical leftists trying to destroy the Republican party from within; where Jeffrey Dahmer is a celebrated conservative pundit and the author of such instant bestsellers as Liberals: Kill Them and Eat Them; and where Richard Perle hosts the NeoCon Game Show, awarding fabulous prizes to the contestant with the most outlandishly wrong answers.

Welcome to the world of Tom Tomorrow, whose subversive new anthology skewers the absurdities of American political culture -- and the depravities of the Bush era -- with the sardonic wit and keen insight his many loyal readers have come to expect. From Hurricane Katrina to the latest presidential campaign, these cartoons provide an unflinching look at where we've been -- and just how bright we can expect the future to be.

What Customers Say About The Future's So Bright I Can't Bear to Look:

While obviously liberal, he has no problem poking fun at the deficiencies of the Democrats. Tom Tomorrow is the best satirist anywhere. His strips convey so much truth, insight, and original wit.

Newspapers are dying and political commentary has been reduced to loudmouths spitting food at each other in 30 second sound bites. Thank God for Tom Tomorrow, the most insightful, consistently hilarious political commentator working today.As a cartoonist, he simply blows away the legion of humorless hacks, with their labels and tired metaphors, that muck up the editorial pages of our dying newspapers.

Color panels of the zany world of Tom Tomorrow make for a fantastically humorous future world in this political graphic novel spoof. Welcome to a political world where Bush and Cheney are secretly radical leftists trying to destroy the Republican party from within - and a game show awards prizes to contestants with the most outlandishly inappropriate answers.

And you know what's really funny. Reading it in the days since Obama's inauguration on Jan. Show your support for progressive humor and buy Tom's book. It has served as a source of inspiration at the triumph of hope over hate in the 2008 election.

Tom Tomorrow is that rare cartoonist who deftly combines sharp political satire with comical hilarity to capture the ridiculousness of modern political discourse in six short cartoon panels. One of the recipients is the editor of our local alt-weekly newspaper, which recently dropped This Modern World due to budget cuts. I bought three copies and gave two away to friends. He is a treasure for all Americans, and I hope he lives forever.

Thankfully, all those Tom Tomorrow strips from 2006-2007 seem like ancient dark chapters that are now long past.While money is tight these days for all of us, we need voices like Tom's to thrive. Now he gets to see what he's missing. His latest highly recommended collection of "This Modern World" strips titled, "The Future is So Bright, I Can't Bear to Look" is of the same high caliber as his previous works. 20 has brought a smile to my face in these dark, turbulent times.

Boring. This strip appears in a local free paper. It is dull, political commentary with a rabid left wing point of view.
