Kal Draws the Line: Political Cartoons

Kal's book illustrates (no pun intended) the best of the editorial cartoon world. Kal is able to sum up in one frame what writers take columns and columns to say. It takes a very talented person to capture feelings, humor, politics and general news in just a few - very deft - strokes of a pen. Even though there is an entire section of the book dedicated to Baltimore issues, the book transcends it's locale. The chapters on international and national politics portray the last four years of the Clinton administration beautifully - and cleverly! Kal is a great, world-class cartoonist. His drawings appear regulary in The Economist of London and other papers and magazines around the world. Baltimore is lucky to have him - and now others can see his works in this fine collection.

I found the book KAL draws the line funny, witty and thought provoking. Kevin Kallaughers lampooning of local and nation figures is top notch not to mention entertaining. I highly recomment this book.
