Monsters: How George Bush Saved the World - and Other Tall Stories

by Gerald Scarfe

Though he is known for having worked with a broad range of pop culture icons—among them Pink Floyd and Disney—satirical artist Gerald Scarfe is perhaps best known for his political cartoons. For the past four decades they have appeared in various magazines and newspapers throughout the world, including the New Yorker . Stunning in both their cutting wit and distinctive style, a selection of Scarfe’s most famous political drawings covering the world over from the early 1960s up to the present day are brought together in this expansive volume. With razor-sharp insight and exuberant energy, Scarfe's drawings lampoon political ambitions, scandals, and disasters alike in inimitable style.

Worth it just for this revolting picture of John Major getting into bed with Edwina Currie.

Hopefully, in his tenth decade on the Earth an artist is still willing and capable to materialise his healthy curiosity into visual artifacts acidly embedding very notions of events, covid-plandemia zoo surrounding recently.
