Dust jacket notes: "Right in the middle of the 1964 Presidential campaign, a young - then twenty-eight years old - Australian named Pat Oliphant moved in four days from being editorial cartoonist on the Adelaide Advertiser to the same job on the Denver Post. Two years later he had won his first Pulitzer Prize for cartooning. By now he is one of the worlds best-known political cartoonists, with his work syndicated in more than 160 newspapers, which is close to saturation of the market for daily political cartoons. This book, the first published collection of his work, covers a wide range of subjects, touching most of the political and social soft spots of our world, from space to rebellious youth, to de Gaulle, the Great Society, firearms, Vietnam. In 1969 he was a joint winner of the Reuben, awarded by vote of the cartoonists themselves, and one of the few political cartoonists ever to win against the men who draw for the comic pages. His own sub-cartoon, a kind of signature featuring a penguin named Punk, provides his public with two cartoons for the price of one, and gives Mr. Oliphants most sophisticated political cartoons an additional readership of Punk-loving children."
