Wildcat: Twenty Year Millennium Wildcat

Wildcat: Twenty Year Millennium Wildcat

By Donald Rooum (Freedom Press)
ISBN: 0-900384-97-2

This terse and telling collection of cartoons celebrating two decades of comic strips featuring the anthropomorphic rebel Wildcat is another brilliant barrage at all sides of the political spectrum by that slyly superb cartoonist and commentator Donald Rooum.

Taken from his regular spot in the Anarchist paper Freedom, this withering fusillade is culled from a period when the US President and British Prime Minister were hunting the maniac dictator of an evil Regime, English troops were changing a Dictatorship into a Democracy, children were being gunned down by their own schoolmates, the police were under harsh public scrutiny for doing whatever they pleased, and Health, Wealth and Education were political footballs for points-scoring MPs.

Safe in the cosy knowledge that these gags and lambastes are still fresh and topical, you should get this little book, and simply cut out and replace Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, Slobodan Milosevic, Jack Straw, Robin Cook and all the other governmental figure heads with this years models, safe and secure in the knowledge that nothing ever really changes.

Don’t forget to laugh as well as cry…
