ATTITUDE: The New Subversive Political Cartoonists

A 128-page compilation of alternative political cartoonists working in the United States, will be published by NBM Publishing in June 2002.

Edited by Ted Rall, ATTITUDE is the first attempt to present the 21 artists whose work epitomizes alternative-weekly political cartooning in a single venue.

"These artists work in the netherworld between facile categorizations. Because they're passionate and strident, they're too alternative for mainstream daily papers. But they're not always considered alternative by the artsy crowd because they're articulate and actually care about ordinary people's concerns. Perhaps because they defy easy labeling, they're creating the most interesting work in cartooning today, and it's an honor to help present this new genre to the public."

ATTITUDE, a 128-page paperback, includes cartoons by: Tom Tomorrow, Peter Kuper, Ruben Bolling, Lloyd Dangle, Andy Singer, Don Asmussen, Clay Butler, Jen Sorensen, Scott Bateman, Tim Eagan, Derf, Lalo Alacaraz, Joe Sharpnack, Eric Bezdek, William L. Brown, Ward Sutton, Stephanie McMillan, Mickey Siporin, Jim Siergey, Ted Rall, & Matt Wuerker. In addition, Rall interviewed each artist and asked them to submit ephemera from their personal lives.
