A look back at the year 2009 through over 400 editorial cartoons—including winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the Thomas Nast Prize, and other major awards.

 Full of clever commentary on the major events of 2009, this collection of more than 400 cartoons covers a range of topics and viewpoints from liberal to conservative. Pulitzer Prize winners and other leading editorial cartoonists cover, among other news, the Obama administration, the disastrous economic crash, government bailouts, and healthcare reform. These controversial subjects are presented with quick wit, sharp observation, and a healthy dose of humor in this book, part of the series of annuals first published over fifty years ago. 

 From Sarah Palin to Rod Blagojevich, many politicians make appearances—as do figures from sports, media, foreign affairs, and more. No subjects are off limits, and all mistakes and failures are fair game, because even if history repeats itself, there is often someone new to blame for it. 

Praise for the series

 “Powerful and pointed.” —International Journal of Comic Art

 “The value of this series grows right along with it as the chronicle of the ‘hot’ topics of each year.” —East Texas Historical Association
