More than 180 leading editorial cartoonists from the United States and Canada once again present their incisive pictorial commentary on the events, ideas, and personalities that captured headlines during 2002. Saddam Hussein's contrived attempts to avoid weapons inspections, President Bush's determination to hold the dictator accountable, confrontations between Democrats and Republicans, the scandal-ridden saga of Enron and WorldCom, and the relentless scourge of world terrorism provided fertile subjects for the cartoonists' art. In some 420 cartoons, this thirty-first annual edition focuses the spotlight on the winners, the losers, the movers and shakers, the builders, the bombers, the fraudulent, the scandalous--just about all who found themselves under scrutiny in the public arena. This series has been edited since 1973 by Charles Brooks, former president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists and an award-winning cartoonist in his own right. Included in this edition are the winners of the year's major cartooning awards.
