ARMED CAMP
Combine the wit and insight of more than 130 leading editorial
cartoonists from the United States, Canada, and Latin America with
the headline-making events of a year filled with controversial
issues, and the result is this provocative volume of prickly satire
and social commentary.
A pictorial history of the year's major developments, this
collection of more than 360 editorial cartoons focuses the
spotlight on those stories that claimed banner treatment in
newspapers around the world.
Included are such intriguing issues as the travails of the
Carter Administration, the Bert Lance affair, the cash-and-carry
Korean scandal, the antics of Brother Billy Carter, a balky U.S.
Congress, and the free-wheeling diplomacy of United Nations
Ambassador Andrew Young. Without a doubt, the year seemed
tailor-made for editorial cartoonists everywhere.
The cartoonists' pen also gives special attention to the
continuing struggle for peace in the Middle East, the Panama Canal
debate, the political tinderbox in Africa, and President Carter's
advocacy of human rights throughout the world.
Twenty-six of the year's major issues and events are explored in
depth by these talented artists, among whom are numbered dozens of
award winners, including Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists.
This volume, the sixth in a series of annuals, also pays special
tribute to the dean of the editorial cartoonist profession, Cy
Hungerford of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The venerable Hungerford
delighted readers with his cartoons for 74 years before retiring in
1977 at the age of 89.
As in the previous five volumes, this edition was edited by
Charles Brooks, himself a prize-winning cartoonist, whose workshave
appeared in the Birmingham News for more than a quarter of a
century. A past recipient of the Sigma Delta Chi Award for
cartooning and numerous Freedoms Foundation honors, Brooks is a
past president of the Association of American Editorial
Cartoonists.
