Cable on Academe

Always on target but never mean-spirited, Carole Cable' cartoons zero in on the realities and absurdities that confront higher education today. Whether it' the professor who tells a student, "No, really, I am pleased that you called me on your cellular phone from your BMW to tell me your paper will be late," or the publisher who quips, "If we published many books like this, Professor Haskens, we'd perish," Cable captures the quirks and foibles of academia with an insider' sharp eye and sly sense of humor.Long a staple on office doors and bulletin boards, over one hundred of these cartoons are now available in Cable on Academe, the first published collection of Carole Cable' work. Ranging from such thorny issues as multiculturalism and shrinking budgets to the everyday trials of getting a good photocopy out of a bad machine, Cable' cartoons will keep academia in perspective for everyone involved--students, faculty, administrators, parents, and even outside critics.Carole Cable is the author of 'Cable on Academe' with ISBN 9780292711709 and ISBN 0292711700.
