The American Revolution has never been funnier! America's founding
fathers were brilliant, brave, forward-thinking. . . and ridiculous, at
least in the eyes of cartoonist and history buff Peter Bagge! I find
myself laughing out loud whenever I read of their foibles, especially
when their oversized egos clashed, says the author. This collection of
short vignettes features some of our country's best-known historical
figures (along with several lesser-known players) and includes all
Founding Fathers Funnies cartoons from Apocalypse Nerd and Dark
Horse Presents. This hardcover also features several brand new stories
and additional biographical information!
I can count on one hand the number of comic artists whose work is as
strong . . . Maybe on two or three fingers. -Robert Crumb
Peter Bagge is one of the best comic storytellers ever. -Vice
Peter Bagge remains one of those premiere old-school 80s/90s
alt-cartoonists who built their careers one corrosively funny page at a
time. -The A.V. Club
