The granddaddy of all such compilations. -- Comics Journal

Every year since 1972, Pelican has presented this diverse compilation of the
most outstanding editorial cartoons from publications across the country.
Selected for the clarity of their position as well as for their exceptional
execution, this collection includes the work of Pulitzer Prize-winning artists,
the year 1/2s major award-winning cartoons, and the best work from Canadian
cartoonists.
This year 1/2s edition, covering the events of 2002, features cartoonists 1/2
commentaries on all the major news events of the year: George Bush 1/2s
preparations for war against Saddam Hussein, the worldwide struggle to combat
terrorism, the battle for control of the U.S. Congress, the sentencing of former
Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh, and an economy that continues to sputter.
There are also sections devoted to some of the issues we as a nation encounter
year in and year out: crime, education, sports, and the environment. Together,
whether individual cartoons stand as a biting retort or to rouse support, these
assembled cartoons present a view of 2002 that is incisive, memorable, and, more
often than not, humorous.
